Influence of glass powder and hydrated lime on strength properties of concrete

Abstract

Demand for concrete has been rising with time to fulfill the construction requirements, which in turn will also give rise to the carbon content in atmosphere. This exploratory review is for the most part centered around the utilization of elective materials, that can concrete be utilized in concrete as substitution and addition the help life of strong plans, which is basic from the environmental and mechanical point of view. In this specific situation, the replacement of concrete in cement by pozzolanic material can be proceeded as ternary combinations for example the joined fuse of glass powder and hydrated lime, empowering the decrease of concrete utilization and the minimization of the CO2 outflows and the regular asses utilization. Thusly, this exploration assessed the joining of glass powder and hydrated lime in a secluded and joined manner, as fractional addition for concrete in cement. In this paper, various replacements had been done to check the appropriate replacement percentages which show the best results for mechanical properties of concrete. It was concluded that the combined use of glass powder and hydrated lime in concrete allowed for the replacement of up to 15% GP (glass powder) and 30% HL (hydrated lime) in the concrete, improving microstructure and increasing attributes related to compressive, Split tensile and Flexural strength at 28 days. Furthermore, the samples with the best quality were tested for SEM and XRD.
