Mechanical behavior and durability of coral aggregate concrete and bonding performance with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars: A critical review

Utilization of coral aggregates (CAs) for concrete production can effectively resolve the shortage of raw materials for construction in remote islands and reduce the energy consumption due to the shipping from the mainland. However, the porous nature of CAs and contained salt will affect the mechanical and durability performance of the concrete. This study aims to first summarize the characteristics of CAs and properties of coral aggregate...
