Abstract

In the present age, the demand for construction material is on a steady increase. Concrete the most widely used construction material is composed mainly of aggregate (fine and coarse), cement and water. The cost of this concrete ingredient is equally rising day by day. Recently researchers have paid so many attentions to waste that can fully or partially replace the conventional concrete ingredients without compromising the standard of concrete produced with convectional materials. This will not only produce an economic concrete but also a sustainable, affordable and environmental friendly concrete. Published works have shown a huge potential of using periwinkle shell an aquatic waste products generated from Periwinkles consumption found in many coastal communities worldwide as a replacement of coarse aggregate. A comprehensive outline of published literature on periwinkle the use of periwinkle as granite replacement in concrete is presented. The impact of periwinkle on characteristic properties of concrete such as workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength, bond strength, impact resistance and heat resistant have been presented.
