Abstract

A research on workability contribution 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 150x 150 x 150mm with varying percentages by weigh of normal concrete aggregate in the orders 100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 85:15 and 80:20 were casted and cured in water. Tests after 7, 14, 21 and 28days were carried out. The compressive strength test shows that at 5% ratio at 28days, of strength of 24.05N/mm2 was achieved at 1:2:4 concrete mix ratio. The values 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
