Abstract:

Storage and safe disposal of waste & crushed glass is a huge problem for our urban & rural areas in India. Everywhere reuse of waste glass eliminates or consumption this problem. In this experimental work, the effect of partially replacing of glass powder in concrete is studied. The cement in concrete is replaced by waste glass powder in steps of 10% 20%, 30%& 40% respectively by volume of cement and its effects on compressive strength, split tensile strength, workability and flexural strength are determined. It is found that the compressive, flexural and split tensile strengths of concrete increase initially as the replacement percentage of cement by glass powder increases become maximum at about 20% and later decrease. The workability of concrete reduces monotonically as the replacement percentage of cement by glass powder increases. The replacement of cement up to about 20% by glass powder can be done without sacrificing the compressive strength.
