Coconut Shell  M. Lakshmipathy trial mixes were made using weigh
Concrete batches with different cement contents
varying from 300 to 510 kg/m3. Water-
cement ratio varied between 0.42 (510
kg/m3) and 0.72 (300 kg/m3)
- Studies on wood-cement ratio was
investigated in this study. For
optimization of the wood-cement ratio
to achieve the target strengths, the
cement content of the CSC samples
was set at 510 kg/m3 as selected from
the trial mix.
- Studies on water-cement ratio was
investigated in this study. In this study,
water-cement ratios of 0.38, 0.42 and
0.48 have been considered.
- The compressive strength of 100 mm
cubes was measured according to IS
516:1959. Mix CS8 (1:1.47:0.65:0.42)
was used to study the flexural, splitting
