Investigation On The Strength And Density Of Concrete Made By Partial Replacement Of Waste Glass As Coars Aggregate
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
Concrete is a highly compacted construction composite material made by mixing suitable quantities of coarse and fine aggregates, cement and water. Its strength is much greater than ordinary bricks used in construction due to its nature of cast. Concrete is used in beams as pillars to hold structure firm to the ground, and in up-floors for storey buildings. Glass is an indispensable solid waste in our environment. Its durability, none-biodegradability and noncorrosive characteristics places it permanently in our surroundings as waste and hence the need to find suitable ways of converting it into proper usage to clean our habitat. In the present paper, we investigate the suitability of waste glass as stabilization in concrete as coarse aggregate. We deduce from the experiment that concrete with 0 % replacement has the maximum average strength of 29.27 N/mm2 and highest density of 2591 kg/m3 , followed by 50% partial replacement with strength of 28.59 N/mm2 and density 2558 kg/m3 . Relationship between density and load response indicate that density of concrete is directly proportional to the load it can take before failure and this is also proportional to the compressive strength. The least weight is recorded in the 100% glass replacement making concrete made of glass suitable for application in up-floor on storey buildings to reduce pressure on beams.
