Abstract

The Concrete industry in particular is one of the major global consumers of natural resources. In order to minimize this impact, experts have considered the manufacture of concrete as a possible destination for construction and demolition waste (CDW) and also a source for recycled aggregates to be used in new concrete life cycles. Concrete is utilized generally all through. This consequently provokes a huge demand for elements of concrete (Fine aggregates, Coarse aggregates and Cement). Sea shells and Mersey silt are some of these waste materials that are rapidly accumulating on sea shores and landfills causing an environment problem of their own. In the present work, study has been made to focus on the utilization of various types of sea shell waste materials in concrete and various amounts of Mersey silt in the preparation of concrete as a partial replacement of fine aggregates. For this reason, the use of recycled construction and demolition waste (CDW) as concrete aggregate has been studied in the recent years. The most explanation of this can be because of its high strength and functionality.

Keywords
