Abstract

In the Philippines, general garbage is one of the major issues, and the majority of coffee grounds are thrown away and added to general waste. Therefore, in order to aid the community in lessening its growing waste issue, researchers are studying the use of Spent Coffee Grounds (SCG). The objectives of this study are to design a Non-load bearing Concrete Hollow Block (CHB) with SCG as partial replacement of fine aggregates with the given percentages of 5%, 10%, and 15%, to evaluate the CHB with the SCG in terms of Compressive Strength Test and Water Absorption Test and lastly, to compare the quality and cost of the CHB with SCG to the standard CHB. The study used experimental research to obtain the results needed. The researchers produced CHB with 5%, 10%, and 15% replacement of fine aggregates cured for 7, 14, and 28 days. The study includes Compressive Strength Test and Water Absorption Test that were performed in testing centers. The major findings of the study are: the experimental block with 5% SCG and cured for 28 days was measured to have the highest compressive strength; the experimental block with 15% SCG and cured for 7 days was measured to have the lowest compressive strength; in Water Absorption Test, an increase is seen at the maximum replacement of 15%, and a drop is generally seen between 0% and 5% replacement; it was observed that samples that had been cured for 28 days with 5% replacement had the highest percentage of moisture, while samples that had been cured for 7 days with 15% replacement showed the least amount of water absorption on all samples. Based on the analysis of the findings, the researchers concluded that SCG has the potential as partial replacement of fine aggregates in non-load-bearing CHB if only a significant amount of spent coffee grounds is added.
