Abstract

In this research, the main focus is to investigation the effect of coconut waste in concrete structure component. Between the need to investigated in the effect of coconut waste in concrete under compressive strength. This is because coconuts waste in there that can help the strength properties of concrete such as coconut shells. It has good durability characteristic, high toughness and abrasion resistant properties; it is suitable to standing use. The coconut fibers have in chemical composition although lignin content is higher and cellulose content is lower. The used of coconut waste from the dispose of coconut fibers could be a useful material in the formation of an admixture for housing construction. Therefore, in-depth study will be made to ensure the appropriate use coconut waste such as coconut fibers by conducting some experiment so as to obtain good result. Key words: Coconut waste, lightweight concrete, compressive strength water absorption, density.
