Abstract

Concrete admixture is added to enhance the properties of concrete to make its function as required. In this paper analysis of properties of concrete using of glass powder as admixture to concrete is studied and verified the strength of concrete and temperature emitted due to chemical reaction to the normal Portland cement. Using of glass powder as admixture the temperature emitted due to exothermal reaction of concrete has reduced. As glass has property of absorbing high temperature. This gives better results hence we can use this glass powder as an admixture. Where the reacting temperature and the emitting temperature place a crucial role in construction, and as glass powder is rigid and non-crystalloid solid this increase bond strength in concrete to increase its strength.

Highlights

Glass powder is non-crystalline amorphous solid that is often transparent, white and has wide spread practical, technological and decorative usage applications
From the fig(1) it is observed that the compressive strength has increased by using glass powder as admixture as 20.49 and 28.67 M Pa compared to normal Portland cement gaining 19.71 and 27.72 M Pa compressive strength for 28 days, by using M20 and M30 grade of concrete
From the fig (2) it is clear that flexural strength of concrete using glass powder as admixture is greater that is 6.19 and 8.51 M Pa than ordinary Portland cement with 5.78 and 8.17 M Pa

Summary

Introduction

Glass powder is non-crystalline amorphous solid that is often transparent, white and has wide spread practical, technological and decorative usage applications. “ANALYSIS OF PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE USING CRUSHED GLASS POWDER AS ADMIXTURE.” International Journal of Research - Granthaalayah, 5(4) RASM, 54-58. Glass powder has good bond strength within which increases strength of concrete if we see glass powder as admixture.
