ABSTRACT

The imagination of a world without concrete is impossible. It is a soul of infrastructures. Concrete is necessary to gain strength in structures. Conventional concrete, which is the mixture of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water, needs curing to achieve strength. Concrete is a counterfeit material in which the totals both fine and coarse are reinforced together by the bond when blended with water. The solid has turned out to be so prominent and essential in view of its natural, concrete acquired an upheaval uses of cement. Concrete has boundless open doors for creative applications, plan and development methods. Its extraordinary adaptability and relative economy in filling extensive variety of necessities has made it is exceptionally focused building material.

This project focuses on concrete, keeping importance to this, an attempt has been made to develop strength in concrete incorporating egg shell powder . As part of the project cement partially replaced with   egg   shall   powder   and  using glass fiber and steel fibers as partial replacement in coarse aggregate.Comparative studies were carried out for compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural test and curing done for 7,14,28,56 days.
