A Study on Strength Properties of Mortar using Oyster shell as Aggregate

굴 패각을 골재로 사용한 모르타르의 강도특성에 관한 연구

Oyster shell is produce by shucking process in oyster farming in southern coast of Korea. In average, about 6.7kg of oyster shell is produced as an industrial waste for 1kg of oyster flesh, and even only in last year, it is estimated that about 150,000 ton of oyster shell is produced. Oyster shell is light weighted and the strength characteristic of it is similar to send. So we produced mortar test piece using grounded oyster shell powder under 5mm of its particle size according to fine aggregate standard and reviewed strength Properties.
