In this study, the properties of concrete with light weight aggregate and with addition of Glass fibers is investigated. Coarse aggregate in concrete is partially replaced with 10,20,30 percentages coconut shell and 0.5,1,1.5 percentage fibres were added to M40 grade of concrete. A total of 90 cubes were casted and their properties such as workability, compressive strength, impact strength, density of concrete were evaluated and the results were analyzed and compared with the conventional concrete. The results showed that the tensile strength of coconut shell and Glass fibre mix concrete existed to be more or less equivalent to the conventional concrete. The aim behind the use of coconut shell as partial replacement for conventional aggregates is to make eco-friendly light weight structure. Glass fibres were added for strengthening of concrete.
