Abstract
The potential for using fly ash as a supplementary cementing material in concrete has been known almost since the beginning of the previous century. Fly ash was used as a supplementary cementing material (SCM) in the production of Portland cement concrete. A supplementary cementing material, when used in conjunction with Portland cement, contributes to the properties of the hardened concrete through hydraulic or pozzolanic activity, or both. In this study, the fly ash and waste glass powder were used in concrete blocks to study the improvement of concrete in terms of workability and strength. Therefore, an experimental study will be conducted to measure the engineering properties of cured concrete. In this research, local raw material from Jaresh area was used.
Highlights
In recent decades, research has demonstrated that high dosage levels of fly ash (40% to 60%) can be used in structural application producing concrete with good mechanical properties and durability (Marceau 2002) [1]
It has been observed that adding 10% of fly ash or waste glass on concrete has a significant effect on increasing the compressive strength of concrete cube samples at age 7 days, with a range between 53% and 3%
The measurements show that the compressive strength of concrete is increased by 31%, when 10% of fly ash is added and a 1% reduction of compressive strength is achieved, by adding 10% of waste glass on concrete at age 28 days
Summary
Research has demonstrated that high dosage levels of fly ash (40% to 60%) can be used in structural application producing concrete with good mechanical properties and durability (Marceau 2002) [1]. The use of good quality fly ash with a high fineness and low carbon content reduces the water demand of concrete and, the use of fly ash should permit the concrete to be produced at lower water content when compared to a Portland cement concrete of the same workability. The main objective of this paper was to develop a mixture design of concrete with fly ash and waste glass powder to produce concrete with high compressive strength comparing to normal concrete samples. Another objective was to reduce some industrial waste material on the environment such as fly ash and waste glass, which causes environment pollution
