The high cost of conventional construction material affects economy of structure.The possibility of utilizing recycled coconut shell aggregates in concrete as coarse aggregate is examined in the present study. An optimum percentage replacement of coarse aggregate with coconut shell aggregate is determined from the study. Coconut shell is a light weight material thus producing light weight concrete. The replacement of coarse aggregate of coconut shell by 5% and 10%. Design mix used is M20 grade and testing of specimens are conducted after 7 and 28 days of curing .The slump and compressive strength of concrete are tests . The main objective is to encourage the use of these waste products as construction materials in low cost housing .
