ABSTRACT
Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world. However, the production of Portland cement, an
essential constituent of concrete, leads to the release of significant amount of CO2, a greenhouse gas; one ton of Portland
cement clinker production is said to creates approximately one ton of CO2 and other greenhousegases(GHGs). Environmental
issues are playing an important role in the sustainable development of the cement and concrete industry [Naik and Moriconi,
2005] .There is a need to replace a part of cement by some pozzolanic material to reduce the consumption of cement and the
environmental pollution can be checked to some extent. Some of theindustrialwastes likefly ash, silicafume,blastfurnaceslag
etc have already established their usage in concrete. Recently the research has shown that the waste glass can be effectively
used in concrete either as glass aggregate or as a glass pozzolana. Waste glass when grounded to a very fine powder shows
some pozzolanic properties because of silica content. Therefore the glass powder to some extent can replace the cement and
contributes for thestrength development and also enhances durability characteristics [ChikhalikarS.M. andTandeS.N.,2012].
Demand for recycled glass has considerably decreased in recent years, particularly for mixed-glass. Glass is cheaper to store
than to recycle, as conditioners require expenses for the recycling process. There are several alternatives for the reuseof
composite-glass. According to previousstudies,allthese applications,which requirepre-conditioningandcrushing,aremoreor
less limited and unable to absorb all the quantities of waste glass available. In order to provide a sustainable solution to glass
storage, a potential and incentive way would be to reuse this type of glass in concrete [Idir R,2009].This paper present
literature review on replacement of cement by waste glass powder which includescurrentand futuretrendsof researchonthe
use of crushed glass powder in Portland cement concrete.
1. INTRODUCTION
In the world of construction and the demand of major
construction projects use of cements is very often as we all
knowthatcement composedof many natural substanceslike
silica, alumina which are very rare substances hence in our
study all efforts are made to use glass powder as a partial
replacement of cement (upto 30%) which helps in use of
waste material like glass powderasapartofcement.Byusing
glass powder sustainability in construction can beachieved..
Glass is a type of material which can by classify as an inert
material and can be reuse and recycled time to time.. Being
chemically classified as amorphous with large amount of
silicacontent which makes glass behavior as pozzolaniconly
when its particles size isnotmore than 75µm.Many research
have proved that glass powder play no role to alkali- silica
reaction.Furtherforbalancinggreenhousesgasesresearches
are made which shows that glass powder can be partially
replaced with conventional materials used in concrete
formation. Critical thing in using glass in concrete is only the
reaction that takes place between silica glass particles and
alkali in pores of concrete Silicate reactionarenotsogoodfor
the stability of concrete, until efforts are not made to
minimize the effect.. Alkali Silica Reaction(ASR) can be
minimized by addingadmixturesinconcrete,commonlyused
admixtures are Pulverized fuel Ash(PFA) and Silica Fume..
Many well known studies shows that use of admixtures like
PFA and Silica Fume in concrete can increase the stability..
The conclusion is that glass powder has high silica content
and can be used as a raw material in cement production.
Good Results have been noticed while using glass powder as
a replacementof cement. Partialreplacementhelpsingetting
the stability of cement components.. A thick and consistent
component is formed when mixed raw glass powder is used
as thorough replacement of cement, which helps in reducing
the moisture absorption and results in increasing the
durability of cementcomponents .When glasspowdermixed
with the cement and replaced around 20% of cement
component enhances the moisture barrier, durability's and
mechanical performance of concrete.
1.1 GENERAL POZZOLANA INFORMATION:
The pozzolanic materials are vital siliceous or aluminous
component which itself having not any cementitious
properties, whichmadereactionwithwithcalciumhydroxide
[Ca(OH)2] liberated in the hydration process to form
compounds possessing cementitious properties. The
pozzolanic materials can beused in cement with for 10 to 35
percent. Thisaddition of pozzolanicmaterialmakesconcrete
more stable Theoverall stability and workability of concrete
depend on the aggregates used in concrete. Pozzolanic
material makes concrete resistant to chemical attack and
strenth gain reduced to some extent than conventional
concrete. Deleterious chemical constituents include sulfides
(turn concretegreen),sulfates(cancausedelayedexpansion),
and alkalis (which add more alkali to concrete which creates
higher risk of ASRover the lifeof theconcrete).Apozzolanais
de-polymerizes atthe 13.5 pHenvironmentoffreshlypoured
concrete to go into solution to ultimately react with the lime
in solution to form additional CSH binder. Which makes
pozzolana stable constitute for Cement. Similarly, fly ashes
may vary in composition and gradation and contain majorly
carbon and sulphates or lime, which leads to non desirable
effects in concrete may. Silica fume are also in use in cement ,
they consume more water but they have great impact on
durability and stability of concrete.

1.2 RECYCLED GLASS AS A POZZOLANA:
The use of recycled glass in very critical from chemical point
of view. In earlier studies glass fiber is very commonly used
in concrete as a reinforcement. The use of glass powder as
partial replacement of cement makes concrete very stable
and durable but studies has revealed that the strength of
cement is not as upto as the conventional cement. We have
conducted various test on cement with replacing cement
content with glass powder with rationof 0%,5%,10%,15%,
25% and 30% and found the results are satisfactory in
terms of compressive strength and tensile strength the
detailed laboratory test results are discussed in coming
chapters of this report. Use of glass powder more than 30%
in cement me leads to loss of strength and durability.
Addition of extra bottle glass mayleadstoproblem related to
strength and durability.Addition of morepozzolana reduces
the strength development in concrete and further alkali are
more soluble and leads to surface formation in the form of
Na florescence.

3. JUSTIFICATION AND SCOPE
3.1 JUSTIFICATION:
During the period of reaction of tri calcium silicate & di-
calcium silicate with water, calciumsilicatehydrate(CSHgel)
& calcium hydroxide are formed.CSH are most important
product in the concrete mass, calcium hydroxide is not a
desirable product in the concrete mass , itis soluble in water
and gets leached out making concrete porous particularly in
hydraulic structures. The lack of durability of concrete is on
account of presence of calcium hydroxide .The calcium
hydroxidealsoreacts with sulphatespresentinwatertoform
calcium sulphate which further reacts with C3A cause
deterioration of concrete ,which isknown as sulphateattack.
Glass is amorphous material with high silica content which
itself possessing no cementitious properties and in presence
of water react with calcium hydroxide liberated in the
hydration process to form CSH gel.
Today world is witnessing the construction of very
challenging and aesthetic structures. Concrete being the
most important and widely used material due to its high
strength and sufficient workability. In the recent, various
attempts and research have been made to use ground glass
as a replacement in conventional ingredients in concrete
productions as a part of green house management. Glass
recycling is the process of turning waste glass into usable
products. Recycling of waste glasspossessesmajorproblems
for municipalities everywhere, and this problem can be
greatly reduced by re-using waste glasses as cement
replacement in concrete.
3.2 OBJECTIVE:
The objective of theresearch isto studyor findouttheeffects
of the use of Glass Powder as a partial replacementofcement
when mixed in concrete and to know the limit of use of glass
powder upto which glass powder can replace cement. In this
study, finely powdered waste glasses will be collected from

different resources and will be used as a partial replacement
of cement in concrete and compared it with conventional
concrete. This work examines the possibility of using Glass
powder as a partial replacement of cement for new concrete.
Glass powder will be partially replaced as
5%,10%,15%,20%,25% 30% and will be tested for its
compressive, Tensile and flexural strength up to 28 days of
age and will be compared with conventional concrete.
The main objective of this study is to find out the
practicality, versatility and feasibility of utilization of
recycled glass as a partial replacement ofcement
To evaluate the recyclability of waste glass powder as a
pozzolana as partial replacement of cement in the
concrete.
To Study the influence of waste glass on hardened
properties of concrete mixes such as: compressive
strength, flexural and splitting resistance.
Determine the optimum quantity of waste glasspowder
to be added as a partial replacement of cement.
3.3 SCOPE:
Cement manufacturing industry is one of the main reason to
produce carbon dioxide emitting sources besides
deforestation and burning of fossilfuels. Theglobalwarming
is highly caused by the emission of green house gases, such
as CO2, to the atmosphere.CO2 contributes about 65% of
global warming. The global cement industry contributes
about 7% of greenhouse gas emission to the earth’s
atmosphere. In order to address environmental effects
associated with cement manufacturing, there is a need to
develop alternative binders to make concrete.
Due to cement replacement by glass powder the cement
used in construction will become lesser, thereby
effecting the production of cement which in result will
affect the production of green house gases positively.
Many researchers has researched that by replacing of
cement with waste glass powder up to 40%, an increase
in compressive strength of about 34% occurs, hence it
can be used where high strength concrete is required.

300µ 398.666 39.86 95.95 4.05
150µ 33.666 3.36 99.31 0.69
As the percentage passing 600µ sieve is between 35 & 59, the sand falls in zone ΙΙ of gradation.
6.2 GRADATION CURVE:
Figure 6.1 Grain size distribution of sand
From the gradiation curve we find that D10=0.33 D30=0.48 D60=0.72
Cu=D60/D10 =0.72/0.33 =2.18
Cc=D302/ (D10 x D60) = 2.02
Thus the sand is poorly graded sand.

6.4 FINENESS MODULUS:
Fineness modulus is an empirical factor obtained by adding
thecumulative percentages of aggregates retainedoneachof
the standard sieves ranging from 80mm to 150 micron and
dividing this by an arbitary number100.
Hence F.M = (0.2+.93+6.293+56.09+95.95+99.31)/100
=2.587
As fineness modulus is between 2.2 and 2.6 the sand is fine
sand.

Weight of pycnometer +sample + water W3 =1.668 kg.
Weight of pycnometer + water W4 = 1.544 kg
Specific gravity is given by the following formula:
G=W2-W1/ (W2-W1) – (W3-W4)
G=0.2/0.076
G=2.63
6.6 SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF COARSE AGGREGATE:
The testis conducted bywire basket method at 110 candthe
readings are presented as :
Weight of oven dry sample W1 = 500 gm
Weight of empty wire basket in water W2=891 gm
Weight of basket and sample in water W3 = 578.5gm
Specific gravity G=W1/(W1-(W2-W3)
G=500/500-(891-578.5)
G=2.67

when concrete is allowed to fall through a standard height
and the density of same concrete fully compacted.
The observations during the test are:
Weight of empty cylinder w1=18.7kg
Weight of cylinder + partially compacted concrete
W2=29.5kg
Weight of cylinder + fully compacted concrete W3=31.3kg
CF = (W2-W1)/ (W3-W1) CF = (29.5-18.7)/ (31.3-18.7)
CF=0.85
6.12 DESIGN MIX:IS:10262-1982:
Characteristic strength required at 28 days =30Mpa.
Target mean strength = fck +1.65 S

=36.6 Mpa
For 53 grade cement and target strength of 36.6 Mpa,
the w/c is obtained as 0.47 but from the durability
condition maximum w/c for M30 is 0.45.hence adopt
w/c ratio of 0.45
For 20mm maximum size aggregate, sandconformingto
grading zone II,water cement ratio of 0.6 and
compaction factor of 0.8 water content per cubic
metre of concrete = 186kgand sand content as
percentage of total aggregate by absolute volume=35%.

Adjustments to water and sandFor compaction factor of
0.85(+0.05) water content is increased by 1.5% and no
adjustment to sand.
• For w/c ratio of 0.4 5(-0.15) sand is reduced by 3%
and no adjustment is made to water content.
• Final water content =188.8kg/m3 and sandcontent
of 32% of total aggregate.
Cement content =188.8/0.45 = 419.5kg
Entrapped air for maximum size of aggregate =2%
Aggregate content is obtained by using the formula:
V =absolute volume of fresh concrete.
W =mass of water /m3of concrete.
Sc =specific gravity of cement.
P =Ratio of FA to total aggregate by absolute volume.
Fa , ca = total mass of FA and CA (KG) per metre cube of
concrete .
Sfa, Sca = Specific gravities of saturated ,surface dry fine
aggregate and coarse aggregate respectively.
FA =554kg.
CA =1195kg.
Design mix is obtained as 419.5: 554: 1195 = 1: 1.3: 2.8

Mix design as 1: 1.3: 2.8 with w/c ratio 0.45.
7. EXPERIMENTAL WORK
7.1 PREPARATION OF MATERIALS
All the materials shall be brought to room temperature,
preferably 70 0 C before start the work. The cement samples
at thelaboratory shallbecarefullymixed dry eitherbyhands
or by a mixer in such a manner as to ensure the maximum
possible blending and uniformity inthe material.Thecement
then be stored in a dry place, preferably in air-tight metal
containers. Samples of aggregates for each batch of concrete
shall be of the desired grading and shall be in an air-dried
condition. In general, the aggregate shall be separated into
fine and coarse portion and recombined for each concrete
batch in such a way as to produce the desired grading. IS
sieve 480 shall be normally used for separating the fine and
coarse aggregates, but where special grading are being
investigated, both fine and coarse aggregate shall be
separated into different sizes.
7.1.1 PROPORTIONING
The proportions of the materials,includingwater,inconcrete
mixes used for determining the suitability of the materials
available, shall be similar in all respects to those to be
employed in the work. Where the proportions of the
ingredients of the concrete as used on the site are to be
specified by volume and shall be calculated from the
proportions by weight used in the test cubes and the unit
weights of the materials.
7.1.2 WEIGHING
Weigh batching is the correct method of measuring the
materials. For importantconcrete, invariably weigh batching
should be adopted. Use of weight system in batching,
facilitates accuracy, flexibility and simplicity.
7.1.3 MIXING CONCRETE
Proper mixing of the materials is essential for theproduction
of uniform and good concrete. The mixing should be done to
ensure that the mass become homogeneous, uniform in
colour and consistency. There are two different methods for
mixing concrete hand mixing and machine mixing.
7.1.4 COMPACTION OF TEST SPECIMENS: (AS PER IS:
516-1959)
Compaction of concrete is the process adopted for expelling
the entrapped airfrom the concrete. In theprocessofmixing,
transporting and placing of concrete air is entrapped in the
concrete. The lower the workability, the higher istheamount
of air entrapped. In other words, stiff concrete mix has high
percentage of entrapped air and, therefore, would need
higher compacting efforts than high workable mixes.
Therefore, itisimperativethat100% compactingof concrete
is one of the most important aim to be kept in mind in good
concrete making practices.
7.1.5 COMPACTION BY VIBRATION
When compacting by vibration, each layer shall be vibrated
by means of an electric vibrator or by means of a suitable
vibrating table until the specified condition is attained.
7.1.6 PLACING MOULDS ON THE VIBRATING TABLE
This is the special case of formwork vibrator, where the
vibrator is clamped to the table or table is mounted on
springs which are vibrated transferring the vibration to the
table. They are commonly used for vibrating concretecubes.
Any specimen kept on the table gets vibrated.

Figure 7.1. Vibrating table
7.1.7 CURING OF TEST SPECIMENS: (AS PER IS: 516-
1959)
The test specimens shall be stored on the site at a place
under damp matting, sacks or other similar material for 24
hours + ½ hour from the time of adding the water to the
other ingredients. The temperature of the place of storage
shall be within the range of 0 to 0 C. After the period of 24
hours, they shall be marked for later classification, removed
from the moulds and, unless required for testing within 4
hours, stored in clean water at a temperature of 40 to 00 C
until they are transported to the testing laboratory. They
shall be sent to the testing laboratory well packed in damp
sand, damp sacks, or other suitable material so as to arrive
there in a damp condition not less than 4 hours before the
time of test. n arrival at the testing laboratory,thespecimens
shall be stored in water at a temperature of 70 0 C until the
time of test.

The experimental work was carried out in Balaji scientific
laboratory, NIT Faridabad. In this study,totalofsevengroups
of concrete mixes were prepared in laboratory. First group
was normal cementconcrete mix. Second, third,fourth,fifth,
sixth , and seventh group was cement replacement by fine
glass powder (GLP) particle size less than 75 micron with
replacement from 5%, 10%, 15%,20%,25% and 30%
respectively.
7.2 COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TEST
Seven differentmixes(Mix1, Mix2, Mix3, Mix4, Mix 5,Mix6,&
Mix7) wereprepared usingcementreplacedbyglasspowder
at varying percentage of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30. Fourty
two number standard specimens of dimensions 150 × 150
× 150 mm were cast according to the mix proportion and
cured in water at room temperature in the laboratory for 7
and 28 days. At the end of each curing period, three
specimens for each mixes were tested for compressive
strength and the average strength was recorded. The size of
the specimen is as per the IS code 10086 – 1982. The
compressive strength test on both conventional and glass
added concrete was performed on standard compression
testing machine of 3000kN capacity, as per IS: 516-1959.
The load shall beapplied slowlywithout shockandincreased
continuously at a rate of approximately 140 kg/sq.cm/min
until the resistance of the specimen to the increased load
breaks down and no greater load can be sustained.

COST ANALYSIS BASED ON PER CUBIC METRE CONCRETE:
Volume of concrete = 1 ݉3
Density of concrete = 2400 kg /m
Mix ratio = 1: 1.3 : 2.8
Quantity of cement in 1 m3 concrete = 2400/5.1
= 470.59 kg
At optimum dosage of glass powder i.e. 20%
Cement saved per meter cube of concrete = 20% of 470.59 kg
= 94.19 kg
Amount saved per meter cube of concrete = 94.19 x 8
= Rs 754.

9. CONCLUSION
WORKABILITY
As the content of glass powder increases in concrete and the
cement content decreases then the workability of concrete
alsodecreases. As there isa reduction in fineness modulus of
cementitious material, quantity of cement paste available is
less for providing lubricating effect per unit surface area of
aggregate. Therefore, there is a restrain on the mobility.
STRENGTH
As thepercentage of glass powder increases inconcrete with
the replacement of cement replacement of cement, strength
increases up to 20% and beyond that itstart decreasing. The
highest percentageincrease inthecompressivestrengthwas
about 30% and flexural strength was about 22% at 20%
replacement of glass powder with cement. The increase in
strength up to 20% replacement of cement by glass powder
may bedue to the pozzolanicreaction of glass powder due to
high silica content. Also itfillsthe voids in concrete and gives
a dense concretemicrostructure. However, beyond 20%, the
dilution effect takes over and the strength starts to drop.
Thus it can be concluded that 20% is the optimum level for
replacement of cement with glass powder. The strength
improvementat early curing ages wasslowduetoporefilling
effect but later itstart increases. Later waste glasspowderon
hydration liberates sufficient amount of lime for starting the
secondarypozzolanicreaction leadingto more quantityofC-
S-H gel gettingformed.
On addition of GLP initial rate of gain of strength is low
but at 28th day strength is more than the design
strength.
At the level of 20% replacement of cement by glass
powder, strength is higher as compare to that of normal
concrete and otherpercentageof replacementof cement
on 28th day.
The compressive strength of glass powder concrete
shows an increment of about 18% at the age of 28th
days at optimum level i-e 20% replacement of cement
by waste glass powder.
The flexural strength of glass powder concreteshowsan
increment of about 27% at the age of 28th days at
optimum level i-e 20% replacement of cement by waste
glass powder.
The split tensile strength of glass powder concrete
shows an increment of about 29% at the age of 28th
days at optimum level i-e 20% replacement of cement
by waste glass powder.
Workability of concrete decreases with increase in the
percentage of replacement of cement with glass
powder.
As the size of GLP particle decreases in concrete the
strength of concrete increases. From results it is
conclude that particle size less than 75 micron get
higher strength than that of particle size ranges from90
to 150micron.
FUTURE SCOPE:
The project work was emphasized on use of glass materials
as partially replacement of cement. Further one can extend
this work as follows.
The effect of glass materials on compressive strength of
concrete aspartially replacement of coarse aggregates
and fine aggregates can be analysed and studied.
The effect of pulverised glass materials on ductility at
beam columnjoint, durability ,fire resistant properties
etc. can be analysed and studied
The glass powder and silica fume are the pozzolanic
materials. Therefore compressive strength can be
studied by using this materials same as partially
replacement of cement in concrete. And also can be
determined its optimum dosage range when concrete
reaches maximum strength
