A Cement is a binder material with various composition of Concrete but instantly it possesses low tensile strength. The study deals with mechanical properties of glass fiber coconut shell concrete with conventional concrete. The accumulation of fibers arbitrarily dispersed in the composition increases the resistance to cracking, deflection and other serviceability conditions substantially. The outcome of glass fiber coconut shell concrete was to investigate and compare with the conventional concrete. For M30 grade the given of glass fiber is 6 and 8%of volume of cement and replacement of 10% of aggregate with coconut shell, 15cubes and 15 cylindrical specimens were cast and tested to find the mechanical properties like compression, split tensile, for both conventional and glass fiber coconut shell concrete has been studied and the test consequences are compared with the conventional concrete and coconut shell concrete for M30 Grade. The ultimate load carrying capacity of the cubes, Specimen was 0%, 12.5%, 18.75%, more than that of the normal concrete comparing to 0%, 6%, 8% of glass fiber with replacement of 10%of course aggregate with coconut shell respectively, the load deformation characteristics also improved to large extent over the normal concrete. The enhancement of Compressive strength, Tensile strength, for the GFRC cube different percentage of glass fiber added to the concrete was increasing by 15 to 20% compared to the conventional concrete.
