Experimental Evaluation on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete Containing Green Mussel Shell (Perna viridis)Powder as an Admixture

Mussel shell is a type of waste that generated abundantly. However, the presence chemical components such as calcium (CaCO3) in mussel shells has shown its potential filler materials concrete designing. Therefore, this paper presents experimental result for physical and mechanical properties containing 1%, 2%, 3% 4% Shell Powder (MSP) additional material under 2.73% sodium chloride solution. The MSP been cleaned, grinded sieved 75μm sizes order to obtain final product. Compressive strength, split tensile, capillary water absorption were determined. Statistical analysis was performed investigate correlation level significance using IBM SPSS determining optimal mix design modified concrete. performance control specimens are main factor observed study. increment percentages had led reduce on however improved rates. According statistical analysis, it shows low giving significant value compressivestrength very strong coefficient compared specimens, thus indicated minimum more improving performance.
