Description

The Egg shells which are usually disposed, is used as an alternate for the cement since the shell is made up of Calcium. Egg shells are used in different combinations to find the feasibility of using the Egg shells as an alternate to cement. Egg shell powder replaces 10%, 12% and 13%of weight of cement in the presence of magnetized water. Concrete is cast and Compressive test, Tensile and Flexural tests were carried out to find the best combination which results in optimum percentage of strength. Magnetized water increases the workability of water which is the main drawback in ESP replacement. Hence more replacement level of ESP is expected to give sufficient compressive strength with the prescence of magnetized water
