                FLEXURAL ABILITY OF BEAM WITH BAMBOO REINFORCEMENT AND COCONUT SHELL                                                                                                            AGGREGATE CONCRETE

Coconut shell (CS) is largely available waste material in India can be used as aggregate for preparing less density concrete. Reinforcement is replaced by bamboo, which is also a largely naturally available material. Replacement is done for traditional materials with CS as aggregate and bamboo as reinforcement .In this paper Beams of various sections like balanced, under reinforced and over reinforced sections has been taken into consideration. Flexural ability of beams has been analyzed by considering Load carrying capacity and deflection of the beams.
