Abstract: This paper gives an audit of the use of coconut shells and coconut fiber in street development. Coconut shells and coconut fiber are new waste materials utilized in the sidewalk and parkway industry. A few investigations demonstrated that coconut fiber can build the soundness, slide obstruction and strong modulus while coconut shells can improve the aberrant rigidity and static wet blanket conduct of the changed black-top asphalt. Conversely, coconut fiber doesn't improve the exhaustion life of the altered bituminous blends. As a rule, the past research shows that coconut shell and coconut fiber essentially improves the building properties of black-top blends when blended in with altered bitumen. The conventional mix practiced in the field was adopted for the production of coconut shell aggregate concrete paver blocks. For comparison purposes, conventional aggregate concrete paver blocks were produced and tested in parallel.
