Abstract: A large amount of industrial waste is produced every year around the world in which it has a direct impact on the environment. The storage of such wastes that remains at the disposal area poses a problem in present day society which will pollute the air. These wastes thus require a suitable form of management to achieve sustainable development. This study presents an experimental investigation on the effect of the addition of eggshells ash partially replaced with cement in the concrete mix. In this study, the ordinary portland cement has been replaced by eggshells waste ash accordingly in the range of 0, 1 and 2.5%. The specimens were casted and cured under standard curing conditions for 28 days before inserted into carbonation chamber for 5 and 10 weeks. At the end of carbonation process period, the depth of carbonation penetrates values were determined. The result demonstrates that eggshells ash can be used as a partial replacement in the concrete mix. The concrete passed the workability test and gave positive results on the concrete durability. Reusing this kind of waste poses advantages to the economic and environmental. Indirectly, it will contribute to a better quality of life for the civilian and at the same time introduce the concept of sustainability in the construction industry.
