Feasibility of cockle seashell waste as an additive material to concrete as a green concrete initiative to promote sustainability

Feasibility of cockle seashell waste as an additive material to concrete as a green concrete... Several research studies have been conducted on the suitability of the use of cockle seashell waste as additive material to concrete. The primary advantage of using the marine cockle seashells as partial replacement of cement in concrete preparation is the significant reduction of environmental pollution. The incorporation of seashells in concrete can put waste materials to good use avoiding problems concerning their safe disposal. Since cockle shells naturally have a high content of calcium, their use will help improve the strength properties of concrete. The current study investigates the use of cockle seashells as additive material in the preparation of concrete. Cockle seashell is added in varying percentages of 5–50% in steps of 5% for the production ofM35, M40 and M45 grades of concrete. Various tests are carried out at 7, 14, and 28 days of curing. The results confirm that varying strengths of cement are obtained based on the proportional addition of cockle seashell. The compressive quality is noted to decrease with progressive increments of cockle seashell content. Deflection qualities test demonstrates that the definitive load carrying capacity of the concrete beam containing optimum cockle seashell is higher than a traditional concrete beam. This investigation shows that inclusion of 5% cockle seashell with M35 grade concrete results in an appreciable improvement in quality as well as other desired properties. In the case of M40 grade, it is noted that the strength is increased by adding 35% of cockle seashell, whereas for M45 grade the strength is increased by adding 45% of cockle seashell. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Building Pathology and Rehabilitation Springer Journals

Abstract

Several research studies have been conducted on the suitability of the use of cockle seashell waste as additive material to concrete. The primary advantage of using the marine cockle seashells as partial replacement of cement in concrete preparation is the significant reduction of environmental pollution. The incorporation of seashells in concrete can put waste materials to good use avoiding problems concerning their safe disposal. Since cockle shells naturally have a high content of calcium, their use will help improve the strength properties of concrete. The current study investigates the use of cockle seashells as additive material in the preparation of concrete. Cockle seashell is added in varying percentages of 5–50% in steps of 5% for the production ofM35, M40 and M45 grades of concrete. Various tests are carried out at 7, 14, and 28 days of curing. The results confirm that varying strengths of cement are obtained based on the proportional addition of cockle seashell. The compressive quality is noted to decrease with progressive increments of cockle seashell content. Deflection qualities test demonstrates that the definitive load carrying capacity of the concrete beam containing optimum cockle seashell is higher than a traditional concrete beam. This investigation shows that inclusion of 5% cockle seashell with M35 grade concrete results in an appreciable improvement in quality as well as other desired properties. In the case of M40 grade, it is noted that the strength is increased by adding 35% of cockle seashell, whereas for M45 grade the strength is increased by adding 45% of cockle seashell.
