Research Study on Waste Glass Powder Partial Replacement with Cement Concrete

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of using waste glass powder in concrete. Laboratory work was conducted to determine the performance of control sample and concrete with used waste glass powder. The performance of these types of concrete was determined by the workability test, density test and compressive strength test. The workability of concrete is determined using slump test and compacting factor test. Meanwhile, compressive strength test is done to determine the strength of concrete. For each type of concrete, a total of six 150mm x 150mm x 150mm cubes were cast. The cubes were tested at the ages of 7, 14 and 28 days to study the development of compressive strength. The results indicate that the concrete with using waste glass powder were able to increase the workability of concrete and also the compressive strength. However, the density is reduced compare to standard mixture of concrete.
