requires better and more affordable construction materials and the reuse of wastes—have all been the subject of numerous studies and research projects undertaken by government agencies, private organizations and individuals adversely affects our environment with emission of enormous amount of CO2. So, researchers worked a lot on the production of eco-friendly concrete using sustainable construction materials. In this research work, we emphasized on the recycled wastes to be used in our construction industry. One of the materials used in our research is an Agricultural waste such as Egg shells are agricultural waste products made in bakeries, fast food restaurants, chick hatcheries, and other facilities. Because they can harm the environment, egg shells include environmental contaminants that require proper handling. Another waste material used in this research is electronic plastic wastes which are recyclable in nature used in construction industry to reduce the impact of plastics in our environment and helps to production of sustainable strengthened concrete. E-waste is being produced at a rate of 3-4% annually over the world, and by 2025, that rate is anticipated to rise to 55 million tonnes annually. One of the greatest alternatives is to incorporate waste plastic into the building sector to create green concrete in order to lessen the negative effects on the environment and conserve natural resources.
mixture of ingredients cement, sand, aggregates, water and sometimes admixtures. Cement plays an important role in concrete production as it works as binder to bind the other constituents together effectively. But the serious thing is that the production of cement adversely affects our environment with emission of enormous amount of CO2. Recycling trash to create usable items is one way to address this challenge. The feasibility, environmental suitability, and performance of using waste in the construction field—which requires better and more affordable construction materials and the reuse of wastes—have all been the subject of numerous studies and research projects undertaken by government agencies, private organizations and individuals. So, researchers worked a lot on the production of eco-friendly concrete using sustainable construction materials. In this research work, we emphasized on the recycled wastes to be used in our construction industry such as Egg Shell Powder and Plastic Wastes. ESP partially replaces the cement content by 0 to 20 % with offset of 5% and Plastic wastes are used as Plastic Coarse Aggregates as 0 to 40% with offset of 10% to determine the strength characteristics of the concrete mix. The specimens were prepared and cured for 7, 14 and 28 days. The optimum strength of the mix after 28 days of curing shows results within permissible limits.
Key Words: Concrete, Egg Shell Powder, Plastic Waste Aggregates, Slump Test, Compression Test, Split tensile test, Flexural test, Strength.
1.1Egg Shell Powder Copper Slag, Quarry dust, Fly ash, rice husk ash and egg shells are wastes generated largely from industrial and agricultural fields and are cause of environmental hazards and recycling. About 1.61 million tonnes egg shells are generated annually, which makes India a fifth largest country in the world. Both poultry and egg processing units have come predominantly in India. Using eggshell waste instead of natural lime instead of cement in concrete can bring many benefits, such as minimizing the use of cement, protecting natural lime and using waste. Eggshell is a good accelerator for cement binders. The eggshell and lime stone are almost same in chemical nature. To this end, we can minimize the use of cement and waste disposal. Literature has shown that the eggshell ash primarily contains lime, calcium and protein where it can be used as an alternative raw material in the production of wall tile material, concrete, cement paste and others.
1. INTRODUCTION With the advancement of technology and increase of population, their standard of living and demands also increased day by day. Thereby resulting in wastage of matters which leaves in our society as garbage and affects our environment badly, pollutes our surrounding with the emission of harmful gases. An issue in trash disposal has emerged due to the production of non-decaying and low biodegradable waste materials and an increase in consumer population. Concrete construction is prior to other construction materials. Concrete is blend of some ingredients mixed with each other properly at proper desired ratios to prepare desired strength of concrete. This type of construction is much preferred over others. Recycling trash to create usable items is one way to address this challenge. The feasibility, environmental suitability, and
