The research paper probes into coconut fibre used as lightweight aggregate in concrete for thermal conditioning, specifically on durability.The durability properties of coconut fibre and coconut fibre lightweight aggregate concrete were examined on the thermal conditioning.The use of coconut fibre aggregate in construction was tested and verified.

It ascertained the moisture content and water absorption capacity found to be 4.20% and 24% respectively.These values can be compared to the conventional aggregate used in normal Protein Powder times.

The density of coconut fibre was found to be in the range of 550 -650 kg/m3.They are within the specified limits of Entertainment Unit lightweight aggregate standards.The study conducted a related hydration test on coconut fibre fines with cement.

The coconut fibre-cement ratio has been optimized to satisfy the criteria of structural lightweight concrete for insulation and thermal conditioning to ensure durability.The experiments for long-term investigation continued for 365 days on the compressive strength of coconut fibre aggregate concrete for three different curing conditions.
