Seashells have been explored as a partial replacement for cement in cementitious matrices to promote sustainable waste management and decrease the carbon footprint associated with cement production. As research in this area expands, it is essential to synthesize current findings and practices to guide future studies on the feasibility of using seashells as a filler. This study analyzed existing research on using seashells as a partial cement replacement in cementitious composites through a systematic literature review conducted across six scientific databases, yielding 44 studies for data analysis and synthesis. Key findings identified the shell processing methods, established typical ranges for shell powder’s physical–chemical properties and dosage, and quantified the impact on mechanical properties in binary mixtures. The reported effects on mechanical properties varied among studies, potentially due to differences in processing techniques and the origins of the shells. Most improvements in composite properties were observed with 5% to 15% cement replacement in binary mixtures. Overall, incorporating shell powder reduces the carbon emissions of the produced composites. Further detailed investigations into shell processing variables and dosages are recommended to better understand how these factors influence the properties of the composites produced.

Introduction: Improper disposal of mollusk shells has led to environmental issues worldwide. Given their primary composition of calcium carbonate, these shells have been studied for their potential use as aggregate in cement composites, offering an environmentally appropriate destination for the waste and reducing virgin raw material use. However, there is a lack of research on the application of Sururu (Mytella falcata) shells, a species of mollusk commonly fished in countries such as Brazil. This study investigated the effects of Sururu shells waste from a Brazilian region on the mechanical and physical properties of mortar when partially replacing natural fine aggregate.Methods: Three mortar mixtures were produced, replacing 10, 20, and 40% of natural sand with Sururu shell aggregate (SSA) by mass. The specimens underwent consistency and density tests in their fresh state, and compressive strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity, and capillary absorption tests in their hardened state.Results: The results showed that workability decreased with the increase in SSA replacement, resulting in a reduction of 31.5% in consistency at 40% SSA replacement level. Compressive strength also decreased with SSA incorporation, but all samples continued to gain strength after 28 days, with 10% SSA samples showing only a 2.7% reduction compared to the control specimens. The dynamic modulus of elasticity was minimally impacted at 10% SSA, but significantly reduced at higher levels. Notably, SSA reduced capillary absorption in samples after 24, 48, and 72 h, indicating potential benefits in moisture management.Discussion: It was concluded that replacing 10% of natural sand with SSA was the most suitable option, considering the investigated mechanical properties of the mortar produced with SSA. However, further research is recommended to examine the durability and environmental impact of this solution.

As primeiras pontes de concreto foram construídas no século XX, sendo bastante utilizadas no dia a dia da população, tendo como finalidade a locomoção de pessoas, automóveis e entre outros. Para que essas estruturas ofereçam uma boa utilidade, deve se existir um amplo estudo e um bom projeto do local que será executada essa construção, e sempre realizar uma manutenção periódica da estrutura, evitando assim transtornos para seus usuários. O objetivo deste trabalho foi à análise das manifestações patológicas presentes em pontes, tendo como referência de pesquisa a ponte Estácio Coimbra (Ponte do Derby), localizada na cidade do Recife. Os resultados foram obtidos através dos registros do local e observadas algumas manifestações patológicas como corrosão da armadura, desagregação do concreto, eflorescência e fissuras, diversos motivos ocasionaram o desgaste da estrutura, por exemplo, a falta de manutenção. Ocorrendo-se essas falhas a mesma se torna insegura para os usuários. Portanto, a estrutura encontrava-se bastante danificada, devido à falta de manutenção, que resultou nas manifestações patológicas apresentadas nesse artigo, no qual foi necessário fazer a manutenção corretiva.

A pesca artesanal de moluscos bivalves em áreas estuarinas frequentemente resulta na deposição inadequada de conchas, gerando impactos ambientais significativos. Essa situação requer um diagnóstico detalhado da deposição e medidas de mitigação. Um exemplo notável é a comunidade pesqueira da Ilha de Deus, em Recife-PE, situada em um importante complexo estuarino urbano. Neste estudo, foi realizada uma análise espaço-temporal da deposição de resíduos da pesca de bivalves no entorno da Ilha de Deus, entre 2009 e 2023. Uma visita de campo permitiu identificar e georreferenciar os locais de deposição de conchas em 2023. Imagens de satélite de 2009, 2013, 2017, 2019 e 2023 foram processadas no software QGIS para identificação e criação de shapefiles dos locais de deposição e da cobertura vegetal. A área destes shapefiles foi então quantificada e analisada entre os anos. Os resultados indicam que a vegetação de mangue está sendo suprimida nas margens da ilha devido à deposição das conchas. Entre 2017 e 2019, houve uma redução de 24,7% na cobertura vegetal e aumento de 39,1% da área de deposição. Já entre 2019 e 2023, foi observado um leve aumento na cobertura vegetal (9,9%) e leve redução na área de deposição (3,4%). Este estudo destaca a necessidade de medidas para um destino ambientalmente adequado dos resíduos produzidos na ilha, a fim de minimizar os impactos negativos no ecossistema do complexo estuarino e na vida dos moradores da comunidade.

This protocol is part of a systematic literature review aimed at critically analyzing and synthesizing the current body of knowledge on the reuse of seashells as a partial replacement for cement in the production of cementitious composites. The review emphasizes the characteristics of the shells examined, the processing methods utilized, the dosage levels implemented, and the laboratory tests conducted. Although previous literature reviews on this subject exist, we have identified a need for a systematic review that provides a structured and comprehensive synthesis of studies. This approach allowed the extraction and organization of reported data, clarifying the effects of shell incorporation on these materials and understanding the potential of seashells as sustainable construction materials.
