Partial replacement of fine aggregate by glass powder

Abstract

The concrete trade is one in every of the biggest customers of natural resources because of that property of concrete trade is underneath threat. The environmental and economic concern is that the biggest challenge the concrete trade is facing, the problems of environmental and economic concern are self-addressed by the utilization of waste glass as partial replacement of fine aggregates in concrete. Fine aggregates will be replaced by waste glass powder as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 40% weight for M-20 mix. The concrete specimens will be tested for compressive strength at 4, 7 and 28 days respectively and also the results obtained will be compared with those of traditional concrete. Glass powder (GP) utilized in concrete creating ends up in the greener setting. In shops, broken glass sheets & flat solid cuttings are attending to waste, that aren't recycled at this time and typically delivered to landfills for disposal. Utilization in concrete is a motivating risk for the economy on waste disposal sites and conservation. This project examines the likelihood of utilization of GP in fine mixture replacement in concrete. Natural sand will be part replaced (0%-40%) with GP in concrete. Compressive strength up to 28 days respectively will be compared with those of control mix created with natural sand.
