EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE USING PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF WASTE GLASS WITH ADMIXTURES

Civil Engineering

This experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of using waste glass powder as partial replacement of fine aggregate for a mix of M60 grade concrete. The demand for aggregate in construction industry is increasing rapidly and so it is becoming more important to seek suitable alternatives for aggregates in the future. The main objective of the project is to find out alternative materials for concrete to meet the demands of natural fine aggregate for the upcoming years, to provide adequate serviceability at minimum cost, to make the eco friendly concrete with safety. In this investigation, an attempt has to be made to determine the feasibility of waste glass powder in high performance concrete. Laboratory work was conducted to determine the performance of control sample and concrete with waste glass powder. The performance of these types of concrete was determined by the density test, compressive strength test, split tensile strength test and Flexural strength test. The compressive strength and Split tensile strength of concrete is found to be greater than control mix. The optimum percentage of replacement for both compressive strength and flexural strength is found to be 10% of replacement.
