To Study Effects on the Strength of Concrete after Partially Replacing Fine Aggregates by Waste Glass Bottle in M35 Concrete Mix

Abstract

Abstract

Concrete is used as the major material in construction industries. As the population of world increase rapidly, worlds faces the problem for habitation and waste by-products. As the waste is proportional to the population and there are restrictions of natural resources used in concrete, this construction industry needs some attention to use some other materials so that they can be mixed in concrete to get the new product,the physical properties of which are same as that of the conventional one. Every year, there are several tons of waste glasses created all over the world. Waste glass can be re-used as a fine raw material and it presents an option to save natural and non-renewable materials. The use of waste glass powder in concrete production can make the construction industry more ecological. In this research, an attempt is taken to bring into play the waste glass in various proportions so that the final product’sproperties of concrete mixture are same as that of control mix. Waste glass bottle fine crushed material was replaced with fine aggregate in various percentages such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40%. Reference concrete mix is also made for comparative reasons. Test results indicated that on 25% replacement of waste bottle glass fine crushed material into fine aggregate for M35 grade concrete, the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexure strength observed were greater than the target mean compressive strength of normal M35grade concrete.
