can make sturdier and strong hollow blocks and we came up with this.And thats why we
conducted this research.
In order to use these eggshells wiser, we conducted a research that wont just help us
reduce waste but also benefit us in the near future. Just by adding eggshells, the hollow blocks
produced would be sturdier, long lasting and able to withstand hurricanes, typhoons and a whole
lot more.

Definition of Terms
Eggshells - An eggshell is the outer covering of a hard-shelled egg and of some forms of eggs
with soft outer coats. Bird eggshells contain calcium carbonate and dissolve in various acids,
including the vinegar used in cooking.
Voodoo - also vodou : a religion that is derived from African polytheism and ancestor worship
and is practiced chiefly in Haiti ; a : a person who deals in spells and necromancy
Global warming- Global warming is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature
of Earth's climate system. Since 1971, 90% of the increased energy has been stored in the
oceans, mostly in the 0 to 700m region. Despite the oceans' dominant role in energy storage, the
term "global warming" is also used to refer to increases in average temperature of the air and sea
at Earth's surface. Since the early 20th century, the global air and sea surface temperature has
increased about 0.8 C (1.4 F), with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980. Each
of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth's surface than any preceding
decade since 1850
Typhoons - A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops in the western part of the North
Pacific Ocean between 180 and 100E. This region is referred to as the Northwestern Pacific
Basin, and is the most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth, accounting for almost one-third of
the world's annual tropical cyclones.
Earthquakes - An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden
release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity, seismic or
seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over
a period of time.
Typhoon Haiyan - Typhoon Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda, was one of
the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded, which devastated portions of Southeast Asia,
particularly the Philippines, on November 8, 2013. It is the deadliest Philippine typhoon on
record, killing at least 6,300 people in that country alone. Haiyan is also the strongest storm
recorded at landfall, and unofficially the strongest typhoon ever recorded in terms of wind speed.
As of January 2014, bodies were still being found.
Structures - In engineering and architecture, a structure is a body or assemblage of bodies in
space to form a system capable of supporting loads. Physical structures include man-made and
natural arrangements. Buildings, aircraft, soap films, skeletons, anthills, beaver dams and salt
domes are all examples of physical structures. The effects of loads on physical structures are
determined through structural analysis. Structural engineering refers to engineering of physical
structures.
Durable - : able to exist for a long time without significant deterioration
Calcium carbonate - Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula CaCO3. It is a
common substance found in rocks in all parts of the world, and is the main component of shells
of marine organisms, snails, coal balls, pearls, and eggshells. Calcium carbonate is the active
ingredient in agricultural lime, and is created when Ca ions in hard water react with carbonate
ions creating lime scale. It is commonly used medicinally as a calcium supplement or as an
antacid, but excessive consumption can be hazardous.
Additive - of, relating to, or characterized by addition; produced by addition ; characterized by,
being, or producing effects (as drug responses or gene products) that when the causative factors
act together are the sum of their individual effects..
