  • Abstract:
  • Oyster Shells are the Hard, Protective outer coverings of Oysters, which are marine molluscs found in coastal areas, which is also a disposed waste from sea shore areas that are rich in Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). To pursue for a chance to recover this waste as building ingredients this study investigates the Effects of Crushed Oyster Shell as Full & Partial Substitute for traditional aggregates in the Production of Interlocking Paver Blocks as per IS Code 15658-2021 and also examines the Impact of Oyster Shell on the flexural strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams by replacing. This research fully involves that preparing Interlocking Paver Blocks with 100 % replacement of Coarse Aggregate & Fine Aggregate by Crushed Oyster Shell according to Grade Designations & Traffic Categories & Other Requirements given in IS Code 15658-2021 and also evaluating their performance based on key parameters given in IS Code such as Size & Shapes, Visual Appealing, Strength, Surface Texture and Finish, Low Water Absorption, Durability. In parallel, Reinforced Concrete Beams incorporating oyster shell as a partial replacement for fine aggregate are subjected for flexural strength tests to assess their structural integrity and potential applications in load-bearing elements. This innovative approach not only provides a sustainable solution for managing oyster shell waste but also offers new opportunities for eco-friendly Construction Practices.
