Experimental Study on Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate with Glass Waste

This paper enunciates that Glass is a unique inert material that could be recycled many times without changing its chemical properties. By using Glass in concrete is an interesting possibility for economy on wastage disposals. The inclusion glass concrete reduces the alkali silica reaction and improves the workability and durability properties of concrete. Glass cullet used in concrete making leads to green environment. The objective of this paper detects the effectiveness of the fly ash and glass aggregate based concrete. In this investigation the fine aggregate was replaced by the waste glass in the concrete as (10% 20% 30% 40% and 50%). Compressive strength of cubes at 28 days of duration were studied. Fineness modulus, specific gravity, moisture content, water absorption was also studied. Based on the test results, the ideal percentage of mix which shows maximum compressive strength, and tensile strength was identified.
