Effect of different curing method for coconut shell concrete

A study on flexural strength of Coconut Shell Concrete(CSC) by different type of curing method. The concrete produced by using 25% of coconut shell in coarse aggregates satisfies the minimum necessities of concrete. CSC has superior workability because of the smooth surface on one side of the shells...
