Abstract

A conspectus based upon a compelling topic, namely, versatility of cockle shell use in concrete to replace partially the natural coarse aggregates and river sand, which is yet to be investigated, is covered in this chapter. An introduction to enlighten the reader with this promising waste material precedes a review of environmental issues with cockle shell which would reduce harm to environment and preserve natural materials for future generation. Cockle trade is an important subtitle that covers cockle shell waste generation, research, and development related to the deployment on the use of cockle shell, processing cockle shell for making construction material are discussed in detail. Experiments were conducted, and the test data revealed that the use of cockle shell as partial replacement of coarse aggregates enhanced the strength of concrete and as partial replacement of sand improved the performance of mortar bricks.
