Comparative Study on Behaviour of Concrete Pavement Block using Coconut Fibre and Coconut Shell

Abstract

Concrete is widely used in all over the countries as a construction materials. Increase in cost of concrete made construction, looks extremely costly. The manufacturing of concrete includes Cement, Coarse Aggregate and Fine Aggregate. Due to wide usage of concrete cost of materials is increased. Therefore the coconut fibre is added as the partial replacement of cement, alternative material is used for partial replacement of fine aggregate and Coconut shell is used for partial replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete. The main aim of this project is to decrease the cost of concrete and make price effective. Research were supported out on 240 mm x 120mm x 80 mm zigzag paver blocks for M 30 grade. Coconut Fibre and Coconut Shell plays the main role in the project.
