Abstract

A research on the determination of strength of Aracaura Columaris (Christmas tree) Seed ASC as partial replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete was carried out. The compressive strength and workability of the Aracaura Columaris (Christmas tree) seed ACS in concrete were determined. Sixty (60) cubes of 1:2:4 mix design ratio were measured in 150 x 150 x 150mm concrete cube containers with varying percentages by weighing of normal concrete aggregate in the orders of 100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 85:15 and 80:20 which were casted and cured in water. Tests were carried out after 7, 14, 21 and 28days.The compressive strength test shows that at 5% ratio at 28days, of strength of 17.50N/mm2 was achieved at 1:2:4 concrete mix ratio. The value of the compressive strength at 28days for partial replacement in ASC in concrete at 5% can be use for lightweight concrete and also for non load bearing concrete works.
