Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate by Using Glass Powder

Abstract

By increasing commercial buildings, the wastes from industries are being accumulated to larger being extent to disposal on environmental surroundings. From this by product of glass is also one of the by products in their industries, due to this recycling of glass by the replacement of fine aggregate in the construction field. The use of glass powder in the concrete mixer we can reduce the land filling (disposal) on environment regions. By eliminating the fine aggregate can be preserve our soil resources, energy and pollution should be controlled. The use of glass powder due to this replacement method cam be attain greater strength, resistance to chemicals and electrical insulator. These test (Compressive strength, split tensile strength) are achieved to be evaluated.
