Abstract
The split tensile strength of concrete using coconut shell as partial replacement for coarse aggregate was investigated in the study. Partial replacements of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% were studied with a control specimen with gravel as coarse aggregate. The tensile strength of concrete was determined using the split tensile strength test following the ASTM C496 Standards. The coconut shell aggregate can be classified as lightweight based on its density. Results shows that the split tensile strength of concrete with coconut shell aggregates (CSA) fails to meet the ACI 330 limits. Also, as the CSA replacement increases, the split tensile strength of concrete decreases.
