DURABILITY STUDY ON CONCRETE WITH EGG SHELL POWDER
Abstract
During the manufacturing of cement carbon- di- oxide is released and it causes environmental pollution and global warming. To reduce the impact of carbon - di - oxide in environment, waste by products are used as admixture in this study, so that environmental pollution and natural resources consumption is reduced. Eggshell is generally thrown away as a waste. It can used as a partially replacement of cement. It contains calcium carbonate. Its usage increases the strength. 20% of raw eggshell powder is mixed with the 80% of cement, and 30% of incineration eggshell powder is mixed with the 70% of cement. For both the ratios mould is prepared and specimen is tested. Various durability tests such as RCPT, salt resistance test, sulphate resistance test, abrasion test, acid resistance test, water absorption test.
