Analysis of the mechanical properties of concrete with oyster shells

By Marcos Alfredo Azuara Hernandez, Andrés González Hernández, Rodolfo Barragan Ramirez

Crassostrea oyster shells, which are commercially exploited in the Moralillo Municipality of Panuco, Veracruz, represent a contamination problem. After consuming the edible part of the oyster, people discard the shells in the streets or in public places and even in landfills, causing a bad appearance, poor hygiene and the spread of pests. Therefore, this research aims to provide a solution to this contamination problem and to recycle this waste to obtain a material for environmental purposes for use in the production of hydraulic concrete and to evaluate the impact it may have on its mechanical properties.
