The Potential Use of Periwinkle Shell as Coarse Aggregate for Concrete

Advanced Materials Research, 2009
The potential of periwinkle shell as coarse aggregate for concrete was studied in this paper. The properties of concrete made with periwinkle shell as coarse aggregate were examined. Test conducted on the concrete was compressive strength test. Prescribed mix designs of 1:1:2, 1:2:3, 1:4:6, 1:2:4 and 1:3:5 were used to produce concrete cubes used for

Efficacy of Periwinkle Shell Ash and Periwinkle Shell Powder in Bioremediation of Crude Oil-Polluted Mangrove Soil

International Journal of Advances in Engineering and Management
This study assessed the efficacy of periwinkle shell ash and periwinkle shell powder in bioremediation of crude oil-polluted mangrove soil. The 48-week experiment was conducted using a wooden microcosm (3.75 m2), subdivided into 18 cells (0.25 m), with each containing 20 kg of contaminated soil.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PALM KERNEL SHELL CONCRETE IN COMPARISON WITH PERIWINKLE SHELL CONCRETE

Malaysian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018
Comparative analysis of mechanical properties of palm kernel shell concrete with periwinkle shell concrete is presented in the paper. The binder and fine aggregate were Ordinary Portland cement and river sand, respectively, while potable water was used for mixing and curing. The constituent materials were batched by weight. Concrete mix ratio was 1:2:4

An investigation of periwinkle shells as coarse aggregate in concrete

Building and Environment, 1995
Abstract An Investigation into using periwinkle shells (PWS) partially or wholly in concrete is reported. Three standard mixes of cement: sand: granite + PWS (1: 1 1 2 :3, 1:2:4 and 1:3:6) and two design mixes of cement: sand: PWS (1: 3 1 2 :1 and 1: 4 1 2 : 1 case1 2 ) were used.

A geographically-based study of shell shape in small rough periwinkles

Hydrobiologia, 1995
A study using principal component analysis and discriminant analysis was carried out on shell shape variation in 3093 specimens of rough periwinkles, 2500 of which were below 5.5 mm in columella length, from around the North Atlantic. Using a combination of colour plus sculpture, and life history trait, the snails were classified by inspection and ...

Performance Evaluation of Periwinkle Shell Powder as Alternative to Silica Flour in High Temperature Well Cementing Operation

International journal of engineering and advanced technology studies
The effect of high temperature on cement slurry is a problem in the oil and gas drilling industry. Over the years, silica flour was used to prevent the strength of cement that results from high temperature effect. But the silica flour is imported and not
