Abstract
Waste glass makes a considerable contribution to a number of critical environmental problems of which the majority are caused by glass waste streams that lack cohesion. The concrete industry has developed a variety of strategies in response to mounting environmental pressure to cut down on trash and increase recycling rates. Newly poured, rock-solid concrete was used for testing. Aim of this study was to examine impact of employing discarded glass as fine aggregate on concrete properties. Waste glass content was taken into account while assessing the attributes of strength. In concrete compositions, general waste glass powder was used in place of sand at percentages of 10 %, 15 %, and 20 %, respectively. The findings of slump value test demonstrated that adding more waste glass powder to concrete mix raised value. When waste glass powder was utilized to replace 15 % of the sand in the combination of concrete materials, both the concrete's compressive and tensile strengths increased. After 28 days of curing, there was a maximum increase in split tensile strength of 11.28 % and a maximum improvement in compressive strength of 17.05 % when compared to standard concrete. The amount of waste glass powder in concrete mixture also decreased material's ability to absorb water.
