Abstract

This research studied the effect of eggshell powder as a partial replacement of cement on fresh and hardened properties of concrete. The cement was partially replaced with eggshell powder at these percentage 0%, 2.5 %, 5 %, 7.5% and 10%, (by weight of cement). The resulting concrete was compared for impact resistance, energy absorption, load-slip characteristics and ultimate bond strength. setting time (initial and final), slump, density and compressive strength also have been found. The obtaining results indicated the advantage of incorporation of eggshell powder in concrete. The concrete unit weight has not obviously affected by eggshell powder content. The 2.5% eggshell powder give the best results compared to reference mix.
