The research aims to investigate the possibilities of crushed oyster shell (OS) not have to go through the process of burning as a substitution cement for concrete blocks. The cement was replaced with crushed oyster shell not process burning (OS) at 0% 10203040 and 50% by the weight of the binder. After that the concrete blocks were tested to determine the compressive strength and moisture absorbed of the concrete blocks cured for 7 142856 and 90 days The result showed that the compressive strength of the concrete blocks which replaced cement with OS (at the proportion of 10% by the weight of the binder) at 28 days had the compressive strength and water absorbed accordance with the TIS 58-2533 on non-load bearing concrete blocks.Moreover the concrete blocks which replaced cement with OS at the proportion of 20 % and 30 % had the compressive strength equivalent to 28 days compressive strength of TIS 58-2533 standard at 56 and 90 days respectively and decreased when the percentage in addition to OS in concrete blocks of 40 and 50 %. Tested results also showed that the water absorbed of concrete blocks increased when the percentage of replacement of OS in binder increased at 10 20 30 40 and 50%. The economical of concrete blocks it has manufactured unit cost is 2.60 baht. Whereas the concrete block containing crushed oyster shell at 10-30% it has manufactured unit cost at 2.12-2.44 baht respectively.

This research presents a study of the compressive strength tensile strength flexural strength and water absorption of Cellular Lightweight Concrete containing fine rice hush-bark ash. Portland cement (CT) is partially replaced with pozzolans 20 30 and 40% by weight of the cementitious materials. The results show that the compressive strength tensile strength flexural strength and low water absorption of Cellular Lightweight Concrete improves substantially with partial replacement of Portland cement with rice hush-bark ash. Cellular Lightweight Concrete mix cement containing 20 and 30% of pozzolans can be used to make cementitious materials

This research was aimed to studying the effect of bagasse ash on the properties of footpaths concrete slabs. Using bagasse ash a waste from the manufacture of ethanol instead of the OPC type I 10 20 30 40 and 50 percent by weight. Test results revealed that the compressive strength of concrete bagasse ash mixtures was less than the plain OPC type I concrete And decreased by the content of the bagasse ash. The flexure strength of the footpaths concrete slabs was laid in the same direction. Comparison flexure strength of footpaths concrete slabs on the standard (TIS 378-2531) found that can used 40% replacement of bagasse ash replacing in cement. For the percentage of water absorption of footpaths concrete slabs in bagasse ash concrete mixtures were higher than the plain OPC type I concrete mixture and every mixture is not exceeding standard. It was also found that the replacing cement with bagasse ash content increased the cost of footpaths concrete slabs were lower down. When replacing cement with bagasse ash in 40% cheaper than the cost of plain cement were up to 31% and according to the standard
