Properties of ordinary concretes incorporating crushed queen scallop shells
Abstract The large quantities of seashells produced in the North-West of France and the depletion of quarries motivates the research of new sources of aggregates. This article examines the influence of incorporating crushed queen scallop shells on ordinary concretes in order to assess the feasibility of reusing marine by products in the form of aggregates. For this purpose four different concrete mixes were produced, one of them used as reference with natural aggregates and the others prepared with 20, 40 and 60 % of crushed queen scallop shells replacing the natural aggregates. Concretes were characterized at fresh state by its workability, the air content and the density, and at hardened state by the mechanical and durability properties. The incorporation of crushed queen scallops causes an increase of the entrapped air of concrete, a reduction of the mechanical properties and an increase of the concrete porosity facilitating the transport of fluids and chloride ions in concrete.
