| Abstract |
Marine sediment disposal is an important economic and environmental issue worldwide. In order to minimize these discharges and optimize resources through a circular economy approach, this study discusses the potential use of fine marine sediments without treatments as a sand substitute in the marine concrete class (XS2, C30/37). The Dreux-Gorisse method was applied to find the concrete formulation containing 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% sediment by weight. The results show that an XS2 concrete C30/37 with a water to binder ratio of 0.55 could be designed with 10% of sediment replacement content without significantly affecting the concrete properties. However, the optimization of concrete mix design shows that marine concrete (XS2, C30/37) could be designed with 30% of sediment replacement content without significantly affecting the potential durability and the estimated lifetime of the concrete structure. |
