Assessment of chloride ion penetrability and compressive strength prediction in concrete with treated coconut shell aggregates using experimental and ANN approaches
Coconut shell (CS) aggregates are naturally porous, allowing them to absorb up to 20–24%. However, treating the CS may decrease its porosity, potentially leading to a reduced penetrability of chloride ions in ...

Durability properties of treated coconut shell-used concrete for sustainability
The absorption capacity of coconut shell (CS) aggregates is 20–25% absorption due to their inherent porosity. Hence, if CS is treated, there are chances of reducing its porosity from 2.370 to 0.315% and, in tu...

Reduction of Pores and Water Absorption of Coconut Shell Aggregate on Treatments
Two different treatments are given to coconut shell (CS) aggregate to enhance its quality. Slaked lime (SL) and sago flour (SF) are the two materials used and treated in CS. In this study, ten discrete types o...
