Indian Concrete Journal - ICJSummary: The 3 R’s of reduce, reuse and recycle applicable to civil construction works are warranted. Integration of waste management on a microbial platform is an attractive avenue for research. In this study, the applicability of waste seashells and the urease producing microbe, Sporosarcina pasteurii in cement mortar is explored. This designer mortar was prepared by blending seashells (5 % replacement of cement and sand); and integrating with a microbial inoculum. The mechanical properties and microanalysis of this designer mortar were compared with those of a control cement mortar. The microbial blended cement mortars encouraged the performance of concrete. The results supported sustainability, which is the most urgent need. This study serves and promotes an alternative method for disposal of seashell waste through green technology, management and sustainability.
