Strength assessment of concrete with waste glass and bankoro (Morinda Citrifolia) as partial replacement for fine and coarse aggregate

Abstract

In Nigeria, the high rate generation of waste has resulted in lots of environmental pollution and high cost of waste management. These have led to the reuse of wastes for different purposes including replacements for concrete constituents. In this study, both fine aggregate and coarse aggregate were replaced with waste glass and bankoro respectively for 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. The result proves that the use of waste glass and bankoro as a partial replacement for the aggregates is possible and acceptable at 5%–15%.
