With growing construction, there is no shortage of tall buildings and structures. but there is one thing that is getting depleted that are natural sources such as sand and aggregates. These material either require some alternate source or using waste material. The material need to be such that which are causing harm to the environment or available in abundance.EPS Beads is one of the material which is non-biodegradable remains for longer time in the environment without any decomposition or degradation. Also, coconut fibre is a natural source which is constanty getting produced. The use of these materias will also help in making concrete lightweight. This research explains about the study methods for producing lightweight concrete by using Expanded Polystyrene(EPS) Beads with the addition of coconut fibre. The main objective of this study is to determine the workability, compressive strength, tensile strength and flexure strength of lightweight concrete prepared by using polystyrene beads and coconut fibre. The tests will be conducted to find compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength. The eps beads will be used for partial replacement of coarse aggregates by volume in the interval of 2%,4%,6%,8%,10%.the coconut fibres will be added as addition by 1% of the weight of cement. The work is done using M25 grade concrete.
