Modelling Reviewed Hydraulic Indices of Periwinkle Shell Ash Occasioned by Variations in Calcination Temperature

Abstract:

Periwinkle shellfish can be found in abundance in the Niger Delta's wetlands. Periwinkle shells are frequently piled in open fields and landfills, resulting in pollution and the development of disease-carrying organisms. Attempts have been made to employ periwinkle shell ash (PSA) as recycled materials in cement-based products in order to manage periwinkle shell by-products, preserve natural resources, and minimize building expenses. A better understanding of results obtained can be established using statistical tools in the analysis and modelling of the trends established with respect to reviewed papers on the PSA production parameters as well as the cement replacement level on the mechanical indices of concrete. This paper, therefore, uses statistical templates to develop analyzed models for a more enhanced understanding of trends and patterns associated with PSA processing variables and cement replacement levels on the compressive strength of concrete.
