Bone powder concrete
BONE POWDER CONCRETE
Hai friends have you ever tried the bones as a building material.... I tried in my graduation as my project. Here is the deatails about that
The cost of building materials nowadays is so high
in some parts of the world; particularly developing countries like India, that
only the government, industries, business cooperation and few individual can
afford it. This high and still rising cost can however be reduced to a minimum
by use of alternative building materials that are cheap, locally available and
bring about a reduction in the overall dead weight of the building. Some
industrial and agricultural products that would otherwise litter the
environment as waste or at best be put into only limited use could gainfully be
employed as building material.
Engineering in developing countries like our nation India, has always been and is still limited by three predominant factors; the availability of suitable power (electricity supply), the strength of the materials with which it is economically practical to work and the cost of procuring or producing the materials. Admitted in recent years, it would appear that progress in the development of highly efficient and enormous powerful sources has out stripped the development in materials that is required to cope fully with the handling of such power. The predominant factor holding back further development is still in all cases the limitation imposed by the mechanical and physical properties of currently available materials.
It would also
seem that the development of more sophisticated high strength materials is
inextricably linked with increasing cost to a point at which the commercial use
of such material is severely restricted. This paper examines two of these
materials namely; ground granular blast furnace slag(GGBS) and bone powder
which can be used as alternative materials to substitute cement in the building
industry, so as to evaluate and confirm the suitability of replacing cement
with ground granular blast furnace slag(GGBS) and bone powder in concrete
structures.
Concrete
has proved to be an excellent disposal means for fly ash, silica fume, ground
granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), marble powder, and so forth which not
only traps the hazardous material but also enhances the properties of concrete.
Concrete, as a material, has significantly been benefited from the usage of fly
ash, silica fumes, and GGBS. For a constant workability, the reduction in water
demand of concrete due to fly ash is usually between 5 and 15% when compared
with Portland cement only mix. The reduction is large at higher w/c ratio.
By taking above details as the datum. I tried that with GGBS (ground granulated blast furnace slag) and bone powder and got the seven days strength as 1.42 times more than that of conventional concrete
I hope my viewers will extend this project and helps in introducing the new building material in civil engineering that is bones.
