Evaluation of Strength Properties of Mortar Containing Waste Glass
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
In order to make concrete industry sustainable, the use of waste glass in place of natural resources is one of the best alternatives. To solve the environmental problems caused by industrial waste, other materials are being used in the manufacturing of concrete. Utilization of waste glass in concrete production not only provides significant environmental benefits but also enhance performance of concrete when used in optimum amounts. Mortar is a masonry product which is matrix of concrete. It consists of binder and fine aggregates. It is an essential associate in any reinforced structural construction. The strength of mortar is a special concern to the engineer because mortar is responsible to give protection in the outer part of the structure as well as at a bricks joint in masonry wall system. In this paper, investigation was conducted to study the viability of using waste glass as an alternative material applied as partial replacement of fine aggregates in manufacturing of fresh mortar. Fine aggregates were replaced by waste glass aggregates as 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% by weight of mortar. The proportion used for mortar mix is 1:3. The mortar specimen was casted. The compressive strength test was conducted at 7 days, 14 days and 28 days and the results obtained is compared with control blocks mortar cubes.
