This study enveloped an innovative uses of mango peel particles (MPP) will be blended
with recycle aggregate concrete (RAC) from construction waste as an artificial concrete
reef for estuaries ecosystem. An artificial reef concrete composite will be made by
using MPP reinforced RAC as a matrix. The composite cube will be prepared in different
percentage of MPP by 10%, 20% and 30% to RAC respectively. The compressive
strength of an artificial reef will be carried out within 28 days. The nutrients dispersed
will be determined by using total phosphorus and nitrate test of the water sample
within 6 days duration. The expected results shows the total of phosphorus and nitrate
increase as percentage of MPP used increase and the contrary, the compressive
strength indicated decreases with the increased of MPP. As conclusion, MPP reinforce
RAC is significant to be used as an artificial reef with some modification on mechanical
properties.
