An experimental study on modulus of rupture and water absorption of cement-seashell power mortar

The usage of cement itself in the industry is inadequate as the strength of the mortar produced is dependent on the properties as cement used. Seashell is a major of calcium carbonate compound and found to be a natural pozzolan. In this research, the use of seashell powder as additive to cement mort...
