Abstract

Civil structures are designed considering the target compressive strength of the concrete. Although, few other parameters such as workability, water to cement ratio, setting time of cement and surface hardness influence the performance of concrete. In the present research a series of experiments had been performed to compare the use of glass powder and steel powder as partial replacement of sand in different proportions. Blended cement prepared by mixing Portland cement with Fly ash in 1:0.5 and 1:1 proportion has been used for this study. Concrete mixes are modified by 10%, 15% and 20% and 25% of glass powder and steel powder in replacement. The main conclusions drawn are inclusion of glass powder increases the compressive strength up-to a certain proportions and then reduces the strength.
