Abstract – In this research work Glass powder which is
come from broken pieces of waste glass of buildings and other
structure construction and demolition waste are used as
partial replacement material for ordinary Portland cement of
43-grade for producing concrete cubes. Glass powder based
concrete cubes are cast practically and the strength of the
concrete have been investigated and reported in terms of
compression. Strength, workability and durability of waste
glass powder replaced concrete can be comparable with the
normal concrete. The present thesis work is aimed at concrete
mix with partial replacement of glass powder by cement (0%,
10%, 20% and 30%) that will reduce the extra burden on the
use of cement and also reduce the cost of construction. In this
mix design behavior of fresh concrete and hardened concrete
evaluated.
Key Words: Glass powder, Ordinary Portland cement 43-
grade, Concrete, Workability and Compressive strength.
1. INTRODUCTION
Disposal and safe collection of waste glass is one of the major
problem. In our country glass waste generated from
construction and demolition of building and other structure
are not properly recycled but dumped in an open area. So,
therefore this problem can be reduced by reusing the waste
pieces of glass. In this research work glass powder which is
produced from waste pieces of glass are used as a partial
replacement with ordinary Portland cement of 43-grade in
manufacturing of the concrete for M25 grade. Due to the high
silica content glass powder shows the pozzolanic behaviour
with the replacement on cement when particle size of glass
is less than 90 micron. In this experimental investigation, we
determine the optimum strength of concrete in hardened
state and also workability of concrete using a varying
proportion of glass powder with the replacement of cement
and also determine the other physical properties of concrete
and compare it with conventional concrete properties.
1.1 Objectives
1. To find out its utilization in the construction sector.
2. To relieve the extra burden on cement by replacing
it with glass powder made from C & D waste.
3. To find out the comparison of a physical
characteristic of cement with waste glass.
4. To detect the behavior of fresh and hardened
concrete with waste glass.
1.2 Advantage over normal concrete
The normal concrete is vital and economical but the
maintenance cost of normal concrete is large on the other
hand if the concrete is replaced with glass waste then cost is
less and also workability, durability, and strength is very
precious as compared to normal concrete. Replacement of
glass powder with cement in concrete improves the
compressive strength and workability at less to moderate
grade and proportions as compared to normal concrete.
Glass waste betters the flow ability and durability at all ages
of concrete. It gives the lighter section and less permeability
at a hardened state. It reduce the extra burden on the use of
cement
2. MATERIALS USED FOR EXPERIMENT
2.1 Cement
Ordinary Portland Cement of 43 Grade of company name
Shree cement, available in the market was used for the
experiment. Care has been taken to find that the cement was
made in airtight containers from single batching to prevent it
from the effect of atmospheric conditions. After that cement
was tested and checked for physical properties such as
standard consistency, initial and final setting time, fineness
and compressive strength according to IS: 8112-2013.
Calculated Specific gravity of cement was 3.15 obtained.
2.2 Glass powder
Waste glass finds from building demolition and construction
was been collected and produced into the powder form.
Waste pieces of glass were hard and strong material. These
waste pieces of glass create problem in crushing so,
therefore pulverize machine was used for making glass
powder for a period of 30 to 40 minutes which were resulted
in particle size less than 150 microns and sieved over 90
micron. Glass is transparent and made by melting of
materials such as soda ash, silica and CaCO3 at higher
