Experimental and Numerical Analysis on Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate with Glass Waste

This paper discuss the response of Glass is a transparent material produced by melting a mixture of materials such as silica, soda ash and Calcium carbonate at high temperature followed by cooling during which solidification occurs without crystallization. Glass is a unique inert material that could be recycled many times without changing its chemical properties. Using glass in concrete is an interesting possibility for economy on wastage disposals. Sheet glass aggregate used in concrete making leads to green environment. The objective of Present work is to find out the effectiveness of the glass aggregate based concrete. In this investigation it was proposed that the use glass aggregate as fine aggregate material partially in concrete. Natural sand was partially replaced (10%, 20%, 30%) with sheet glass aggregate. Compressive strength of cubes at 3days, 7days and 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 was identified.
