This document discusses using crushed waste glass as a partial replacement for sand in concrete. Concrete cubes were cast with 0-30% replacement of sand with waste glass. The cubes were cured for 7 and 28 days then tested for strength. Results showed that waste glass can be a strong, safe and economical alternative to sand in concrete when used at a 10-20% replacement level, exhibiting properties similar to gravel or sand. This helps reduce construction costs while providing an environmentally friendly way to reuse waste glass.
Glass material is used as fine aggregates
- 1. Introduction Glass is a transparent material produced by melting a mixture of materials such as silica, soda ash, and CaCO3 at high temperature followed by cooling where solidification occurs without crystallization. Glass is widely used in our lives through manufactured products such as sheet glass, bottles, glassware, and vacuum tubing. waste glass that is crushed and screened is a strong, safe and economical alternative to sand used in concrete. Crushed glass or cullet, if properly sized and processed, can exhibit characteristics similar to that of gravel or sand.
- 2. Materials & Method In order to study the effect of waste glass as partial cement replacement on the strength of concrete, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate, 9 cubes of size 15 cm × 15 cm × 15 cm . were cast for different percentage of demolished waste and for 10%-20% waste glass for a mix have been cast in the lab. An effort has been made here to compare the strength of cubes made up with different percentage of demolished waste to the respective strength of conventional concrete at the end of 7 and 28 d of moist curing. Sand replacement materials: waste glass that is crushed and screened is a strong, safe and economical alternative to sand used in concrete. Cement: In this work, Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) of Ambuja(53 grade).
- 3. Continue.. Fine aggregate: commercial sand is obtained from river beds or from sand dunes originally formed by the action of winds. Coarse aggregate: Different types of glass of varying sizes and colors were used instead of the 10mm to 20mm normal aggregate (NA) in traditional concrete control mixer. Water: Potable water is used for mixing and curing, w/c of 0.33 has been used. Concrete: The concrete mix design is M20. When use of Cement , Sand and Aggregate ratio is 1 : 1.5 : 3 and water cement ratio is 0.33. Concrete may be produced as a dense mass which is practically artificial rock and chemicals may be added to make it waterproof or it can be made porous and highly permeable for such use as filter beds.
- 4. Comparison between Concrete & Glass Cube Concrete Glass Amery(For 10%) Sand = 2.280 kg Sand = 2.022 kg Cement = 1.500 kg Cement = 1.500 kg Aggregate = 4.500 kg Aggregate = 4.500 kg Water = 730 ml Water =730 ml Amery = 228 gm TOTAL MATERIAL = 8.9 KG TOTAL MATERIAL = 8.9 KG
- 5. Comparison between Concrete & Glass Cube Glass Amery(For 20%) Sand = 1.80 kg Cement = 1.500 kg Aggregate = 4.500 kg Water = 730 ml Amery = 450 gm TOTAL MATERIAL = 8.9 KG
- 6. Replacement as a Percentage Glass Amery(For 30%) Sand = 1.57 kg Cement = 1.500 kg Aggregate = 4.500 kg Water =730 ml Amery = 675 gm TOTAL MATERIAL = 8.9 KG
- 7. Advantages Glass is an ideal material for recycling. The use of recycled glass saves lot of energy. Using waste glass in the concrete construction sector is advantageous, as the production cost of concrete will go down.
