EFFECT OF GLASS REINFORCEMENT AND GLASS POWDER ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF CONCRETE

The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of addition of glass powder and glass fiber on the various characteristics of concrete. Waste glass powder and glass fiber is added in different portions and M-25 concrete samples are prepared. These samples are tested for their strength and workability characteristics and the results are compared. It is found that the glass fiber reinforced concrete has better strength than that of glass powder mixed concrete. It is observed that glass fiber gives better results as compared to glass powder. It is found that strength and workability of mixes increases significantly when glass fiber is used.
