Mechanical Properties of Concrete by Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate with Glass Powder for M40

Abstract

Abstract: Since the concrete industry is one of the biggest consumers of natural resources, its sustainability is in jeopardy. Concerns over the economy and ecology are the main challenges facing the concrete sector. To address issues of economic and environmental significance, this study investigates the use of discarded glass as a partial replacement for fine particles in concrete. At weight percentages of 0, 10, 15, 20, and 25%, waste glass powder was used in the M25 mix as a replacement for fine aggregates. After measuring the concrete specimens compressive strength and splitting tensile strength after 28 days, 56 days, and 90 days, the results were compared to those of conventional concrete. The results indicate that the use of discarded glass powder as a substitute for fine aggregate up to 15%
