Abstract
Polymer concrete is a fine aggregate bound with a polymer binder instead of cement as in conventional concrete. The main aim of this research is investigation some properties (compressive strength, direct tensile strength, dry density) of epoxy polymer mortar with recycled glass as partial replacements of normal sand. According to the findings of this study, waste glass was substituted for 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of the sand in polymer mortar, respectively. When using waste glass as an alternative to natural sand, a decrease in dry density is observed when compared to the reference mixture by 2.14%, 2.23%, 2.32% at 7 days, 14 days and 28 days, respectively. Addition of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of waste glass as a partial substitute for natural sand leads to improvement the mechanical properties (direct tensile and compressive strength) of eco friendly polymer mortar. The results showed that recycled glass with 20% replacement ratio has given best results when compared with reference mix and other ratios. Finally, a regression analysis is used to establish the link between tensile strength and compressive strength.
