Cockle Shell: A Potential Partial Coarse Aggregate Replacement in Concrete

Cockle Shell: A Potential Partial Coarse Aggregate Replacement in Concrete

Effort towards preserving natural coarse aggregate for future generation and reducing cockle shell waste originating from the fisheries industry has initiated studies on possibility of integrating this waste in concrete production. This paper presents the result on the workability and compressive s...
