📄 Project Abstract

This study investigates the suitability of crushed coconut shell (CCS) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as partial replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete. The PET was crushed mechanically to sizes between 0-10mm while the CCS was crushed manually to sizes between 12.7-19.5mm. Various tests were carried out to ascertain the physical and engineering properties of the aggregates used in this study. Sieve analysis was carried out on all the various aggregates used in this study and it was observed that when combined it gives us an all in aggregate distribution which is ideal for concrete construction. Flakiness and elongation tests were also carried out and it was observed that CCS and PET have a flakiness index of 100% as compared to gravel with a flakiness index of 19.54%. PET had the highest elongation index of 67.35%, gravel with 29.48% and CCS in between with 28.24%. Specific gravity of all the aggregates used in this study was found out with PET, river sand, gravel and CCS h...
