  • Abstract:
  • In this day and age we are in front of most complex safety problems connected to environment. Many things which are made-up for our comfortable life are accountable for polluting environment due to offensive waste management technique. The present exploration assesses the merging of oyster shell in concrete. The consequence of oyster shell as fractional replacement of cement on the compressive strength (primary) of concrete has been investigated. Globally, over 150 countries produce cement and/or clinker, the primary input to cement. In 2001, the United States was the world’s third largest producer of cement (90 million metric tons (MMT)), behind China (661 MMT) and India (100 MMT). This work reports an experimental procedure to investigate the effect of using oyster shell powder as partial replacement of cement. Tabby is a type of concrete made by burning oyster shells to create lime, then mixing it with water, sand, ash and broken oyster shells. Tabby was used by early Spanish settlers in present-day North Carolina and Florida, then by English colonists primarily in coastal South Carolina and Georgia. Oyster shell as a alternate for straight cement with partial replacement using M25 grade concrete The main objective is to support the use of these outwardly waste products as a construction material.
