Theoretical Assessment on Coconut Shell Powder as an Aggregate Material for Construction Bricks

Vikas Shinde, Pranav Datar

Abstract :

Today researches all over the world are focusing on ways of utilizing either industrial wastes or agricultural wastes as a source of raw materials for the commercial applications. Coconut Shell (CS) is the agricultural waste, available in large quantities throughout the tropical countries of the world. It isused for very few applications besides which it is generally thrown away or burnt as a means of solid waste disposal that contributes large CO2 and methane emissions. More environmental and economic benefits, waste management can be achieved if it can be used for commercial application. The high cost of conventional construction materials is being a major factor affecting the cost of infrastructure. So some cheaper alternate material is required to be found. In this work the potential of CS Powder as an aggregate in construction icks is studied. It will provide a platform for the further researches.
