Exploratory Study on the Use of Crushed Cockle Shell as Partial Sand Replacement in Concrete

The increasing demand for natural river sand supply for the use in construction industry along with the issue of environmental problem posed by the dumping of cockle shell, a by-product from cockle business have initiated research towards producing a more environmental friendly concrete.
