Preliminary characterization and evaluation of local concrete sludges for use as supplementary cementitious materials by Ashfaque Ahmed Jhatial, Iveta Nováková, Eirik Gjerløw, Christian John Engelsen

“…The XRD analysis revealed that the CS samples contained 2.29–28.47 %, with an average of 8.3 % amorphous content, reflecting the variation of cement paste in the CS. The findings suggest that CS can be categorized into two SCMs based on their operation: precast CS, characterized by siliceous and alkali-rich properties, and ready-mix CS, which is lime-rich and exhibits hydraulic properties, enabling tailored applications in cement and concrete production.…”

Assessing the Suitability of Snail-Shell Powder as a Partial Replacement of Cement in Concrete Production. by Mukundane, Ivan

“…Physical properties of snail shells, fine aggregates, and coarse aggregates were also done and found to be fineness modulus of sand 2.56, water absorption of sand 2.3%, specific gravity of sand 1.23, natural moisture content of sand 1.47%, water absorption and specific gravity of coarse aggregates as 0.5% and 2.68 respectively, bulk density of coarse aggregates of 1555.56kg/m3 specific gravity and water absorption of the snail-shell sample as 2.95 and 2.02% respectively and fineness of SSP as 92.8%. Blended pastes containing OPC and SSP at different percentage replacements, 0%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5% were investigated for workability, and compressive strength of grade 20 Concrete at different days ie 7. 14 and 28 days It was found that 10% replacement of SSP gave the maximum concrete and the desired strength of 19.1MPa at 28 days while an increase in the % replacement lowered the workability of concrete.…”
