Abstract
The eminence exploitation of raw materials from the environment causes the natural sources to degrade and limits the future practices in the construction sector. The economy in this sector holds around 40% of the total flow of source materials into the GDP of the nation. The production of such materials are either consume a good amount of energy, responsible for causes of CO 2 , NO x , SO x, into the atmosphere or leads to the restriction on the usages of available natural sources in the future. Hence, the implementation of new practices for the incorporation of raw materials to save the extraction of available natural sources in the construction can be a beneficial foot step. The use of an agricultural by-product i.e. coconut shell can be a promising material for manufacturing the concrete in the partial replacement of coarse aggregates. Result indicates that coconut shell can be used as lightweight concrete which can be used in non-load bearing structures, strip footings and non-structural elements. Environmental concerns can also be minimizing by making such sustainable efficient practices by the use of these waste coconut shell materials.
