used for building. However, most types of cement are very expensive and that causes
most of the people to use materials made out of weaker materials such as wood and
thus weak foundation and could be easily destroyed. Many lives are lost due to weak
Portland cement is the most common type of cement and is commonly used to
create concrete by pasting with water that binds with sand and gravel to harden.
Portland cement can be manufactured using limestone, shells, clay, silica sand, etc.
All of the aforementioned materials are quite uncommon these days and therefore
expensive. Cement has components which are calcium, silicon, aluminum, iron and
other ingredients.
Chicken is the most common type of poultry in the world, for it is very easy and
cheap to raise them compared to other poultry such as cattle and hogs. Most fast food
chains and restaurants have Chicken at their menus because it is a popular choice for
all kinds of customers. At the end of the day, the only left in Chickens are their bones.
It is very hard so it can’t be eaten by us humans. Most of Chicken bones are thrown
center. If they are put in a landfill, they will stay their for many years until they rot.
Chicken bone is a food waste that contains Calcium, which is essential in making
ALTERNATIVE CEMENT USING CHICKEN BONES
Cement. Calcium is also the main reason why Chicken bones are very hard.
Engineering Goal
The researchers’ goal is to create concrete using Chicken bones as the alternative
for cement to create an eco-friendly concrete with a cheaper price and higher
availability .
The researchers were prompted to do the study to help make more sturdy
buildings to avoid poverty and loss of lives using Chicken bones commonly found in
the environment.
Hypothesis
Expected outcomes
The researchers expect that at the end of the study, a cement can be made that is
The significance of the study is to make more cement using food wastes in the
