Abstract

In order to minimize the problem and develop a useful, practical, and affordable construction material, the researchers discovered the use of waste materials. Because of the scarcity, the researchers are motivated to utilize the solid waste generated by households and companies that use eggs in their production of goods. The researchers propose using Egg Shells to develop an alternative cement for the concrete mixture. The study has three main objectives: (1) to determine the 7-day, 14-day, and 28-day compressive strengths of concrete when pulverized egg shells are used as a partial replacement for cement; (2) to determine the water absorption percentage of the concrete when the pulverized eggshell is used as a partial replacement for cement in concrete; and (3) to perform a cost analysis in the preparation of a concrete mix with pulverized eggshell as compared to the standard concrete mixture. The study involves cost analysis and two tests: compressive strength and water absorption. To achieve the result from the compressive test, the researchers made CHB specimens consisting of nine for each experimental (5%, 10%, and 15% cement partial replacement) setup and nine standard concrete mixtures for each different curing age (7, 14, and 28 days). Based on the analysis of the findings, the researchers conclude that eggshells can be a partial replacement for cement for non-load-bearing concrete hollow blocks. The samples were tested using the Universal Testing Machine (UTM), and the results show that the concrete samples with 10% replacement of PES have higher compressive strength than the standard concrete samples, all of the specimens have passed the ASTM C129 standards in both the compressive strength test and the water absorption test. Also, using pulverized egg shells can reduce the cost of the project. However, only a 10% replacement of eggshell is highly recommended.
