Scientists have found that concrete's compressive strength can be increased by 4.1% and its flexural strength by 3.4% by adding a small amount of coconut shell (only 5%). The material's performance increased by 6.1% compared to clear concrete. This effect is due to the fact that the cement paste—the bridge between all solid concrete particles—penetrates into the pores of the shell, firmly binding it with other components.
