Abstract
Special concrete is the type of concrete that produced by using waste material or using unusual techniques/method of preparation. Special concrete made with waste material is becoming popular in a construction site. This is because the special concrete is selected due to quality, integrity, economic factor and environmental factor. The waste glass is selected as an additional material to provide a good in compressive strength value. The compressive strength is the importance of mechanical properties of concrete and typically the concrete is sustained and stiffed in compression load. The significant issue to utilize the waste glass from the automotive windscreen is to improve the strength of concrete. The waste glass is crushed to become 5 mm size and recognised as crushed waste glass that be used in concrete as additional material. The main objective of the study is to determine the appropriate percentage of crushed waste glass in concrete grade, 30 in order to enhance the compressive strength. There are four mixes of concrete that contained of crushed waste glass with percentage of 2 %, 4 %, 6 % and 8 % and one control mix with 0 % of crushed waste glass. As the result, crushed waste glass with an additional 4 % in concrete is reported having a higher value of compressive strength in early and mature stage. In addition, if the percentage of crushed glass wastes in concrete increases and it leads to a reduction in the workability of concrete.
Highlights
The world population is created and produced a lot of solid waste over 15,000 tons per day
With the attraction of economical and environmental factor, the special concrete made with waste material especially waste glass is established
The workability of the concrete mix was reduced with increasing of crushed waste glass
Summary
The world population is created and produced a lot of solid waste over 15,000 tons per day. Most of the solid wastes such as paper, steel, plastic and glass are disposed at the dumpsites or landfill. The dumpsites produce a lot of environmental problems, for example landslide, air pollution and water pollution. This problem can be settled by using the 3R principle is Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. The problem of the dumpsites is solved for only reuse and recycles method. Method of reduction can’t be utilized due to the increase in world population and germination of developed countries. With the attraction of economical and environmental factor, the special concrete made with waste material especially waste glass is established
