Experimental study on concrete of blended cement with eggshell powder and fly ash

Cement as a vital material of concrete production plays an important role in construction field. However, production of cement had brought severe negative impact to environment. Research found that there is approximately 780 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) is emitted to atmosphere for every ton of cement...
