Optimisation of Compressive Strength of Periwinkle Shell Aggregate Concrete

Abstract: In this paper, a regression model is developed to predict and optimise the compressive strength of periwinkle shell aggregate concrete using Scheffe’s regression theory. The results obtained from the derived regression model agreed favourably with the experimental data. The model was tested for adequacy using a student t-test at 95% confidence level and was found to be adequate. A computer programme coded in basic language was used to select the mix ratios that optimized the compressive strength of periwinkle … Show more

“…Obam [6] discovered that the third-degree polynomial predicts strength with an accuracy that is roughly 21% higher than the second-degree polynomial. This suggests that higher-order polynomials, which are laborious and time-consuming, are not required unless more accurate results are required.…”

“…A great many huge amounts of these wastes are created every day, industrial, domestic and agrarian waste takes an enormous level of these strong waste. Prominent materials, from solid wastes that have been utilized or discovered by scientists to be appropriate as partial replacement for constituent materials in concrete production incorporates: Glass powder [7]; waste glass [8]; pulverized bone [9,10]; rice husk ash [11][12][13]; plantain peel ash [14]; bone ash powder [15,16]; waste oil palm shells [17]; palm kernel shell [18]; periwinkle shell [19,20]; pulverized snail shell [21,22]; sea shells ash [23]; cassava starch [24]; bamboo leaf ash [25,26]; banana leaf powder [27]; groundnut shell ash [28,29]; and machine crushed animal bones [30]. These materials are either utilized independently or in blend, and for various concrete mix.…”

“…Research has also confirmed the feasibility of incorporating even more others in concrete production. These materials include: recycled concrete aggregate (Tahar et al, 2020;Paewchompo et al, 2020), polystyrene aggregate (Tang et al, 2008), periwinkle and palm kernel shell (Egamana and Sule, 2017), quarry sand Kaish et al, 2021) and of recent, ceramic wastes (Bartosz et al, 2016;Halicka et al, 2013;Awoyera et al, 2018;2021b;Elci, 2016). Unlike organic wastes like sawdust which are biodegradable (Etim et al, 2017), ceramic wastes are non-biodegradable (Halicka, et al, 2013;Zimbili et al, 2015).…”
