Impact of glass waste and rubber waste over the environment and their applications in concrete

Abstract

In this experimental research study, glass waste in powdered form and rubber waste in fine aggregate form were practised for the intensification of the ordinary controlled concrete. Glass waste in powdered was practised in place of ordinary binder that is cement and the rubber waste after proper processing was utilized in place of ordinary sand. Glass waste in powdered form was practised from 0 percent to 25 percent and the rubber waste fines were practised at 25 percent and 50 percent. Overall, 11 dissimilar kinds of mixes were considered depending upon the proportion of the ordinary binder, proportion of glass waste binder, the proportion of ordinary sand, proportion of rubber fines and proportion of coarse aggregate. Then concerning the proportion of the substantial several samples were executed and then examined for destructive examination. The examination consequence of the compression test of the concrete reveal that the maximum compressive strength of the modified concrete was attained at 20 percent application of the waste glass fine powder when used in place of cement and at 25 percent application of the waste rubber fines when used in place of natural silt. It was further determined that both the substantial healed the internal pores of the concrete and thus leads to enhanced productivity of the normal concrete. It was also taken into account that the higher proportions of both the undertaken substantial leads to the loss in the core properties of the concrete. Further, the outcomes of another destructive examination that is the tensile strength test and flexural strength test, outposts that the supreme forte of the substantial concrete was gotten at 25 percent practice of the waste rubber fines and 20 percent practice of the waste glass fine in powdered form when utilised as an alternative for ordinary fines and binder correspondingly. It was also observed that the least strength consequences were attained at supreme percentages in the case of both the taken substantial. The tensile and flexural behaviour of the concrete is enhanced with the intensification of the proportions of the constituents. From the results of all kinds of destructive and non-destructive test, it was found at the last that the most suitable results were attained at 20% practice of waste glass fine powder and at 25% practice of the waste rubber fine powder when used in combination with one another. Further it can also be concluded that while practising together in place of natural binder and natural fine aggregate, beyond these proportion the strength starts declining in all cases either in case of destructive testing or in case of non-destructive testing.
