Abstract :
High building material costs and demand can be a significant disadvantage for builders and
contractors. The cost of raw materials such as wood, steel, and concrete is always growing, increasing
the cost of projects. Due to the high demand for certain materials, they can be difficult to get on time,
causing project delays. This is especially true when working on large-scale projects with short deadlines.
This research presents an idea to minimize the problem by partially replacing the cement and coarse
aggregates with sugarcane bagasse ash and coconut shell. The study has 3 main objectives: (1) To
determine the effects of workability (slump cone test) and durability (water absorption test) of concrete
when Coconut Shell and Sugarcane Bagasse Ash are used as partial replacements of cement and coarse
aggregates after 7, 14, and 28 days of curing.The samples were tested using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) and the outcomes of
the experiment revealed that CS and SCBA have a positive result on the properties of standard concrete.
