A Review Study on the Effect of Replacement of Cement by Crushed Fluorescent Lamp

A construction material composed of cement aggregates (fine & coarse aggregates) water & admixtures is known as concrete. Nowadays, the use many waste materials like pulverized fly ash & ground blast furnace slag is done by many researchers. By this process, the possibility of using Fluorescent Glass Powder as a partial replacement of cement for new concrete is examined considerably. By performing various tests, the observations practically showed that glass powder can be used as cement replacement material up to particle size less than 75 micrometer to prevent alkali silica reaction. Glass powder is divided into two grades. One is Glass Powder with size less than 90 micron & another is glass powder having particle size from 90-105 micron so as to study the size effect of glass powder. Observations showed that the initial strength gain is very less on 7th Day but increases considerably on 28th Day. So as to evaluate the durability and strength of concrete along with control specimen 10%, 20%, 30% replacement of fine aggregate with fluorescent tube light waste, investigations has been carried out. This paper depicts the above conducted investigations and their observations as well.
