EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION OF WASTE EGGSHELL POWDER IN SUSTAINABLE PAVER BLOCKS PRODUCTION
Keywords:
Eggshell Powder, Concrete Paver Blocks, Slump Test, Compressive Strength, Sulphate Attack TestAbstract
Paver blocks in construction are broadly used in Infrastructure (out-of-doors application and Transportation) development. Increasing the fast progression of infrastructure development and shortage problems create the huge demand in the construction ingredients. Generation and disposal of Eggshell waste is increasing day-to-day rapidly by various industrial activities but decomposes process are very slowly and its creates lot of environmental pollutions. Hence, the main aim of this work to use Waste Eggshell Powder (WESP) as fine aggregate in Paver Block making. WESP was replaced by sand for the various proportion are 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% by weight. PB was casted in 225 mm x 225mm x 35mm size of mould for M20 grade. This study carried out to measure strength, durability and cost analysis of 14 days and 28 days. The utility of WESP is to decrease the water cement (w/c) proportion and increase workability. When the Results were compared with normal mix it displays 20% more compressive strength measured in 30% substitution of WESP. Strength of blocks is increased as well.
