About: Tabby concrete

An Entity of Type: Whole100003553, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Tabby is a type of concrete made by burning oyster shells to create lime, then mixing it with water, sand, ash and broken oyster shells. Tabby was used by early Spanish settlers in present-day Florida, then by British colonists primarily in coastal South Carolina and Georgia. It is a man-made analogue of coquina, a naturally-occurring sedimentary rock derived from shells and also used for building. Revivals in the use of tabby spread northward and continued into the early 19th century. Tabby was normally protected with a coating of plaster or stucco.

dbo:abstract
  • Le béton de coquillage (en anglais: tabby) se fabrique en incinérant des coquilles d'huître pour en faire de la chaux, mélangée ensuite à de l’eau, du sable, des cendres et des coquilles d’huître brisées. Le tabby fut employé par les premiers colons espagnols dans l’actuelle Caroline du Nord et la Floride, puis par les colons britanniques principalement sur la côte de la Caroline du Sud et la Géorgie, et à Sydney en Australie. Le tabby connut des regains d'utilisation en direction du nord le long de la côte est des États-Unis jusqu’au début du XIXe siècle. Le tabby était habituellement recouvert de plâtre ou de stuc. (fr)
