A REVIEW STUDY ON REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT BY SILICA FUME AND EGG SHELL IN CONCRETE

Abstract

The objective of the study performed here is based on the potential use of waste material associated with the concrete industry. To support this, recent trends are examined by performing an extensive literature survey and the conclusion is drawn to check the utilization of Egg Shell Powder (ESP) and Silica Fumes (SF). The various researchers has suggested limiting the range of ESP and SF from 0% to 20% through trial and error method and positive results are obtained in terms of compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, workability, corrosion resistance, etc. It is observed that the strength of the concrete rises with the adding of eggshell powder and silica fume and finally, the comparative literature results of concrete produced by using eggshell and silica fume are presented graphically. In this literature study, the focus is drawn by reducing cement content by adding ESP and SF and results obtained after experiments are recorded to support the re-use of waste material and provide a sustainable solution to concrete industry for better future.
