Utilization of Waste Glass as Cement Replacement in PPC Concrete

In the Present era, the globalizations due to the rapid growing of construction are insufferable burden on environment and rapid weakening of respective natural resources. All construction activities require more or less natural material like aggregates which cause rapid weakening of the same due to high consumption. On the other hand production of one ton cement is responsible for emission of 0.9 ton CO2. Glass is a widely used product throughout the world and it is used in many forms in day-to-day life; it is versatile, durable and reliable. Glass has limited life duration and after use it is either stock piled or sent to landfills. Since glass is non-biodegradable, the large amount of glass is disposed of in landfill it's not provide an environment friendly solution. Hence, there is strong need to utilize waste glasses. In present experimental investigation -waste glass powders have been used as a partial replacement to the concrete ingredient i.e. cement and the mechanical properties like compressive strength and split tensile strength are measured. For checking strength effect of replacement of cement by glass powder, the cement is replaced at 05%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%.
