Experimental study on the use of egg shell powder in partial replacement of cement in concrete.
Egg shells are waste materials that primarily end up in landfills and substantially contribute to
environmental pollution. In Kenya the annual egg production is estimated to be 1.2 billion with
the per capita consumption of eggs being at 40. The annual cement production in Kenya is
estimated to be 6.3 billion tons as of December 2016 and continues to grow exponentially.
The production of cement has been the cause of serious environmental problems such as
emissions of gases like carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides which could potentially led to global
