The increasing expense of development materials in agricultural nations has required examination into the utilization of elective materials structural designing development. In this review, a substantial blend of 1:1.51:3.06 was utilized as control, while coconut shells were utilized to supplant squashed stone by volume. 36 blocks were created and compressive and rigidities were assessed at 7 days, 14 days and 28 days. The thickness and compressive strength of cement diminished as the rate substitution expanded. Total supplanted by coconut shell with proportions 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100 percent with water concrete proportion of 0.5. The aftereffects of the review showed that substantial delivered by supplanting 40% of the squashed stone by coconut shells can be utilized in substantial development. A likely exists for the utilization of coconut shells as substitution of customary total in both regular supported concrete and lightweight built up substantial development. The utilization of coconut shells as incomplete trade for regular totals ought to be supported as an ecological insurance and development cost decrease measure. Key words: concrete, coconut shells, compressive strength, coconut shell concrete.
