“…Consistent with the experimental phenomenon, previous research has shown that the addition of shells improves post-cracking behavior, reduces the opening of cracks, and counteracts their expansion, as well as increases the toughness of concrete owing to their deboning and internal stress mechanisms 35 , 36 . Furthermore, due to the adsorption capacity of shells 37 , if the shell is aligned with the tensile direction, it is capable of bearing the tensile force and impeding crack propagation 38 . Therefore, the shells with higher content have a wider and more uniform distribution in the concrete, as the cement does not have a significant effect on the shells during the hydration process, and no settlement or floating occurs, which also improves the tensile strength of the concrete.…”

The recycling bio-waste shells problem has grown more and more serious in recent years and many efforts have been made to solve this problem. One possible solution is to put these bio-shells into concrete and recycle them as building materials using the aggregate matrix concrete approach. To verify the engineering feasibility, the mechanical properties of bio-shells aggregated concrete were invested via gradient substitution rates at 10%, 30%, and 50% with a total of 78 groups of specimens in this paper. Our results show that the mechanical properties of the concrete were enhanced in maximum flexural strength and maximum compressive. Economic performance was also analyzed and found that the costs of frame-shear structure, frame structure, and tube-in-tube structure were reduced by 10.2%, 10%, and 10.3%. The carbon environmental assessment also shows superiority in the carbon reduction of a single specimen with various rates of the shell. In summary, compared with ordinary concrete materials, it is very possible to use waste bio-shells as a substitute for aggregates to develop the sustainable recycling development of concrete materials.
