Cement is the main constituent ingredient in concrete. Now days many investigations undergone for substitute of cement due to green houses effect and global warming  .Many new products like rice husk ash, egg shell powder, baggage ash, etc are used as an effluent replacement material for cement. The new and Practical material for substitute of cement is water hyacinth ash .Water hyacinth ash (WHA), is used as an effectual replacement of partial cement, and it has been proved in several characteristics of concrete. The main important parameters in concrete are strength, durability and workability. In this paper, 10 % of cement replaced by water hyacinth ash   to investigate the effects of WHA on  durability and Strength  in concretes. On this basis, specimens were engrossed in water and acid to study the absorption property, acid attack and compared to conventional concrete. The test results show that replacement of cement by WHA in concrete has improved the parameters of concrete.

This study presents the effects of egg shell powder on lightweight foamed concrete when partially replace the cement. At 2017, 12235 million eggs were consumed and around 85 thousand tonnes of egg shell waste was the yield in Malaysia. The waste might result in an environmental problem if it is not reused properly. Besides, large cement production also results in carbon dioxide emission and depletion of natural limestone. Therefore, studies on effects of egg shell powder on properties of lightweight foamed concrete as partial replacement of cement is attractive to be carried out by aiming to promote the application of lightweight foamed concrete as well as to mitigate the environmental issue by reducing the number of eggshell wastes and pure cement production. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects on engineering properties of lightweight foamed concrete with a fresh density of 1200 ± 50 kg/m3 when the cement is partially replaced by egg shell powder at replacement levels of 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% by mass. The properties of the lightweight foamed concrete studied included workability, stability, compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption, and sorptivity. The results show that the replacement of egg shell powder reduces the spread diameter, stability, and sorptivity, and improve the compressive and flexural strengths at replacement level of up to 5%. The eggshell powder is feasible to be used as partial cement replacement material for the production of the masonry unit.


In present scenario concrete is highly consumed material in construction field due to its advantages, because of this the natural resources are depleting day by day at an alarming rate and there is an immediate need for finding alternate materials to the natural materials in concrete. In this paper an effort is made to find alternate partial replacement materials for cement and fine aggregate (FA). M40 grade concrete is adopted and the cement was replaced with egg shell powder with different percentages of 5%, 10% and 15%. The optimum percentage egg shell powder (ESP) is obtained at 10%. At optimum ESP the FA is replaced with Quarry Dust (QD) with percentages of 25%, 50%and75%. The maximum strength properties are obtained at 10% ESP and 50% QD and the concrete is also durable at 10% ESP and 50% QD with Water Cement Ratio is 0.38.


The efficient waste management and recovery of waste materials are the most important goals of sustainable environmental development. The egg shells and conch shells are solid wastes being deposited in enormous amount which creates large disposal problem. In order to examine the possibility of utilizing these wastes for use in building materials the egg shell and conch shell powders were used as partial replacement for the manufacture of eco-friendly bio mortars. The mechanical characterization of the bio mortar produced by substituting finely ground egg shell and conch shell powder at various percentages were quantitatively investigated. The present research work was executed in two groups – the first group of bio mortar consists of raw egg shell and conch shell powder and the second group consists of thermally treated egg shell and conch shell powder as a partial substitute for binder. The results showed that the untreated egg shell and conch shell powder did not cause much improvement in the strength parameters of bio mortar whereas the thermally treated egg shell and conch shell substituted mortar exhibited a significant improvement in the mortar strength. The scanning electron microscopy images also reveal the denser and compact structure of mortar which supports the filling effect caused by these wastes. This improvement in strength was due to the calcite present in the egg shell and conch shell powder. The calcite traces were further confirmed by the FTIR and XRD studies. Thus the usage of these waste materials as binder reduces the manufacture of cement which minimizes the environmental pollution by mitigating the CO2 emissions.

Glass waste & Egg Shell Powder cannot be processed for useful applications and may end up in a landfill. In India nearly 30 tonnes of Glass waste in every metropolitan city generated every year. This establishes the ecological problem and is measured an additional problem on the previouslyclose-fitting landfill space.This article studies the possibility of using post-consumer Glass Waste Powder and Egg Shell in Powder form as a fractional substitute for conservative cement on concrete. During manufacturing of cement it emits a huge carbon di oxide and cause various effect to atmosphere. In this project tried to minimize the usage of cement by partial replacement of waste material from general utilities. Here I replaced cement by partial as glass powder and egg shell powder with a percentage of 0 %, 20%, 30%, and 40% and for its compressive strength up to 7, 14 and 28 Ages evaluate the strength properties. Comparison result has obtained by cube test & split tensile test. Since now a day’s the developing and developed countries are facing lack of post consumer dumping site and it has become extremely serious difficulty. This waste product should convert resource of by-product to control environmental pollutions.
