The document discusses a study on the partial replacement of fine aggregate with glass powder in concrete. The objectives are to evaluate glass powder as a replacement, study the performance of glass powder concrete, and understand its effectiveness on strength. The methodology involves collecting materials, preliminary testing, casting and curing specimens, and testing concrete. The results show that the compressive and tensile strengths generally increase up to 15-20% replacement, with strengths decreasing at 30% replacement. Overall, the study demonstrates that glass powder can partially replace fine aggregate in concrete with improvements to strength.

AGGREGATE BY GLASS POWDER IN
CONCRETE

2. OBJECTIVE:
🠶 To evaluate the utility of glass powder as a partial
replacement of fine aggregate in concrete.
🠶 To study and compare the performance conventional
concrete and glass powder concrete.
🠶 To understand the effectiveness of glass powder in
strength enhancement.

3. INTRODUCTION:
🠶Concrete is a widely used material in the world. Based on
global usage it is placed at second position after water.
🠶 River sand is one of the constituents used in the production of
conventional concrete has become highly expensive and also
scare.
🠶 In the backdrop of such a bleak atmosphere, there is a large
demand for alternative materials from industrial waste. Some
alternative materials have already been used as a part of natural
sand.

4. Cont..
🠶 Similarly the waste glass are collected from the shops are
used. The collected glasses are crushed to sand size and it
could be used an alternate material for natural sand as
partial replacement.
🠶 In brief, successful utilization of glass as fine aggregate will
turn this waste material into a valuable resource.

6. MATERIAL USED AND THEIR PROPERTIES:
🠶 CEMENT:
A cement is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens and can
bind other materials together.
Cement sets or cures when mixed with water which causes a
series of hydration chemical reactions.
TYPE OF CEMENT USED: OPC 53 grade, ultra tech.
🠶 Fine Aggregate
Fine Aggregate, in building and construction, material used for
mixing with cement, bitumen, lime, gypsum, or other adhesive to form
concrete or mortar. Fine aggregate size conforming to sieve passing
through 2.36mm

7. 🠶 COARSE AGGREGATE:
Coarse aggregates are particles greater than 4.75mm, but
generally range between 9.5mm to 37.5mm in diameter. size of coarse
aggregate:20mm
🠶 GLASS POWDER:
Using waste glass in the concrete construction sector is
advantageous, as the production cost of concrete will go down. Waste
glasses are used as aggregates for concrete.
🠶 WATER:
The quantity of water in the mix plays a vital role on the strength
of the concrete. The pH valueof water,hall be not less than6.

8. MATERIAL TESTING:
🠶 TESTFOR SPECIFIC GRAVITY AND WATER ABSORPTION:
Using the pyconometer the test for specific gravity and water absorption is
done
s.no. Observation and calculation C.A F.A
1 Mass of empty Pycnometer (M1 0.75 .75
2 Mass of Pycnometer and dry soil (M2) 1.82 1.98
3 Mass of Pycnometer, soil and water (M3) 1.38 1.350
4 Mass of Pycnometer and water (M4) 0.49 0.716

10. 🠶 The specific gravity of coarse aggregate is2.55 and the specific
gravity of fine aggregate is 2.279

11. 🠶 TESTFOR CEMENT:
Standard consistency of cement is defined as that consistency which
will permit plunger to penetrate at 33.34from the top of the mould.
Standard consistency (%) = (Weight of water added/ Weight of
cement) x 100

Thus the consistency of cement is found to be 40%.

12. 🠶 Initial setting time:
Place the test block confined in the mould and resting on the non-
porous plate, under the rod bearing the needle. Lower the needle
gently until it comes in contact with the surface of test block and
quick release, allowing it to penetrate into the test block. In the
beginning the needle completely pierces the test block

14. 🠶 SLUMP TEST:
Slump test is the most commonly used method of measuring
consistency of concrete which can be employed either in laboratory
or at site of work. It does not measure all factors contributing to
workability, nor is it always representative of the place ability of the
concrete.

16. Mix design:
🠶 The specimens are to be cast with concrete of characteristics strength
20 N/mm2 .the physical properties of constituent materials are
investigated and presented as follows.
🠶 Step 1:
Characteristics strength required = 20 N/mm2
Grade of concrete = M20
Max nominal size of aggregate = 20mm
Max water cement ratio = 0.55
Min cement content = 300kg/m3
Max water cement content = 77mm (slump)
Degree of supervision = good

Specific gravity of fine aggregate = 2.65
Specific gravity of cement = 3.15
Water absorption of
Coarse aggregate = 0.5%
Fine aggregate = 1%

Coarse aggregate = nil
Fine aggregate = 2

18. 🠶 Step 3:

The mix calculations per unit volume of concrete shall be as follows
*volume of concrete
Volume of cement
Volume of water
= 1 m3
= 350/3.15* 1/1000
= 0.111m3

= 1058kg
Mass of fine aggregate
Mass of cement
Mass of water
= 0.692 *0.4*2.279*1000
=630 kg
= 356 kg/m3
= 140 kg /m3

🠶 The mix proportion for the above calculation is 1:1.8:3.03

22. MANUFACTURE OF FRESH CONCRETE
CASTING AND CURING:
🠶 The partial glass powder and the aggregates were first mixed
together for about 3minutes. The liquid component of the
mixture and cement was then added to the dry materials and the
mixing continued for further about 4min to manufacture the
fresh concrete.

23. Experimental Plan
🠶 In this work, 5%,10%,15%,20% and30% of fine aggregate
is replaced by glass powder for M20 grade concrete.
🠶 Cube specimens of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm
were casted for different proportions with glass powder
and compared with the properties of concrete
prepared without glass powder (control mix).
🠶 Compression test was performed on the concrete after
7,14 and 28 days of curing.

🠶
Along with compressive strength, the flexural
strength of the concrete increases up to 20%
replacement and then decreases with increase partial
replacement of glass powder.
The split tensile strength of the concrete
increase up to 15% replacement of glass powder and
decreases with further increase in glass powder.

🠶
Thus waste glasses are made in to glass powder
and loaded in to concrete which makes it useful. The
partial replacement of glass powder as fine aggregate
Makes the concrete strengthen.
Thus our project states that concrete can be
strengthen by glass powder replacement , which
makes the waste in to useful, so the waste materials
made in to use.
