Abstract:
Concrete is the most versatile construction material because it can be designed to withstand the harshest environments while taking on the most inspirational forms. Engineers are continually pushing the limits to improve its performance with the help of innovative chemical admixtures and supplementary cementitious materials. Nowadays, most concrete mixture contains waste materials present in this environment as a replacement. These can get extinct when they are used continuously for a long time. Cockle shells are present on the sea shores. These shells are used in lime factories as these shells contain 97% of CaCO3. Some cockle shell left untreated and is left on the seashores. These cause bad smell to the environment and also a negative impression on the surroundings. The cockle shells are made into chips of size 10mm to 20mm and added to the concrete as the partial replacement of coarse aggregate. The shell replacement in the concrete mixes varies 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%and 40% by weight of coarse aggregate.
