Abstract:
an alternate material can be used for replacement of cement. Since several replace-
ment experiments were done for coarse and fine aggregate. Hence we go for replace-
ment for cement. The alternate material in our project used was powdered Eggshell. In
the present study, these Egg shell Powder is used as a partial replacement of cement
and various properties like workability, compressive strength, tensile strength and
flexural strength were determined. Egg shell powder is varied upto 24% (0%, 6%,
12%, 18%, and 24 %) in this research work.
INTRODUCTION:
There is a growing interest in reducing carbon emission related to cement production
from both academic and industrial sectors. Recycling of waste components contributes
to energy savings in cement production, to conservation of natural resources and to
protection of the environment. Hence, currently, the entire construction industry is in
search of a suitable and effective waste product that would considerably minimize the
use of cement and ultimately reduce the construction cost. This paper analyses the
material namely; Egg Shell Powder which can be utilized as alternative materials to
substitute cement in the building industries, in order to evaluate and affirm the suit-
ability of replacing cement with egg shell powder in concrete Structures.
LITERATURE REVIEW:
In this investigation, five different percentages of eggshell powder with respect to ce-
ment were added into the concrete The materials used were mainly Portland cement,
crushed sandstone, sand, plasticizing accelerator and eggshell powder. From the in-
vestigation, all the slump results of eggshell concrete were at medium degree of work-
ability ranging from 65-75 mm. Eggshell concrete of 10% achieved the highest com-
pressive strength at 42.82 N/mm2 which is 57% higher than the control specimen.
There is an increasing trend of flexural strength from 2.36 to 3.50 N/mm 2 with the in-
crease of eggshell powder from 0 to 20%. Besides that, the eggshell concrete has
shown significant reduction in water absorption The aim of the work is to study the
suitability of egg-shell powder, and dust ash as a partial replacement of cement. The
chemical compositions of these Industrial wastes taken under study are almost similar
to that of Ordinary Portland cement. In this experimental work, egg shell plays a major
role, as it is used in all the combination of the concrete cubes. The industrial wastes
are grounded to the fineness of cement, and the properties of cement such as initial
setting time, final setting time, fineness test, soundness of cement, water absorption,
etc. are conducted on the replaced sample. The tests revealed encouraging results for
the study. The sample of blended cement consists of 20% of egg shell powder, 50% of
and 10% of Sawdust ash In this project eggshell pealed out of. The collected eggshell
is washed and heating upto 1800C for 24 hours using hot air oven. After that the
eggshell is cooled using designator and grinded eggshell is sieved using sieve . Table
1 shows the properties of materials. The experimental investigation consisted by vary-
ing percentage of eggshell powder as partially replaced with ordinary Portland ce-
ment. The percentage of eggshell was varied by 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The com-
pressive strength was determined at 7days and 28days.
