Abstract

Production of low-cost concrete has been a major parameter to reduce the overall cost of construction by using alternate materials. For this, coconut shells which are abundantly available near the local temples, oil industries are used for the present study to make use of the Agro waste. Along with coconut shells, another waste byproduct from combustion power plants namely fly ash has been used for the study. In the present work, fly ash was replaced with cement and coconut shells by conventional mineral aggregates both with 10% and 20%. Generally, the rural villages which have a huge dump of Agro waste or which are closer to a combustion power plant may use this low cardon emitted materials in road constructions. Use of alternative material in village pavements would not only reduce the carbon footprint but may also save in depletion of natural resources. This paper presents a comparative study of resistance to disintegration loss of cantabro test for specimens made with low-cost concrete and also illustrates how the mechanical and microstructural characteristics of concrete made with coconut shell aggregate and fly ash are affected. The experimental data disclosed that the mechanical properties of concrete replaced with fly ash and coconut shells was found to be optimum at 10% replacement and with further increase it is found that the strength has decreased drastically. Cantabro loss has been analyzed to assess the amount of pavement degradation and found that the loss is higher for combination use of Fly ash and coconut shells.
