Abstract |
|
This work investigated the effect of laterite soil and waste glass aggregates on the compressive strength of roller compacted concrete. Mixes were produced by partial substitution of control concrete sand by laterite soil and waste glass aggregates up to 80%. Laterite soil ratio were kept at 50% for all mixes while waste glass aggregates substitution ratio varies from 0% to 30%. The 28-day compression tests show that partially replacing sand by laterite has lowered the compressive strength. However, strength is enhanced with the substitution rate of sand by waste glass aggregate and attained its maximum at 30% glass aggregates, strength which is even greater than that of the control concrete. |
