coconut shell as coarse aggregate.pdf (Size: 156.88 KB / Downloads: 200) Oil palm shell (OPS) is a waste from the agricultural sector and is available in large quantities in the tropical regions. The high cost of conventional building materials is a major factor affecting housing delivery in world. This has necessitated research into alternative materials of construction. The project paper aims at analysing compressive strength characteristics of concrete produced using crushed, granular coconut as substitutes for conventional coarse aggregate with partial replacement. The main objective is to encourage the use of these ‘seemingly’ waste products as construction materials in low-cost housing. It is also expected to serve the purpose of encouraging housing developers in investing these materials in house construction. |
