DURABILITY PERFORMANCE OF CONCRETE (M-60) FINE AGGREGATE PARTIALLY REPLACED WITH CRUSHED WASTE GLASS

Durability of concrete may be defined as the ability of concrete to resist weathering action, chemical attack, and abrasion while maintaining its desired engineering properties. Different concretes require different degrees of durability depending on the exposure environmental conditions and properties desired. The retrogression of concrete structures is due to effect of attrition of reinforcing bars which is occurred due to the chloride incursion.so it is necessary to study the concrete durability nature before making its usage in present construction. The present research is focused on studying the effect of using sustainable material in concrete preparation. To know the effective usage of crushed waste glass in concrete and significance in Durability properties for different replacements was studied .The present research work was done using materials like cement, Fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, waste crushed glass, super plasticizer in order to know that at which combination of mix there will be optimum effect on properties of concrete. Fine aggregate was replaced with 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% with crushed waste glass. The durability tests like Acid attack, Rapid chloride penetration and abrasion tests were done. The optimum value of acid resistance was observed when fine aggregate was replaced with 30% of fine aggregate with crushed waste glass, less abrasion loss at 30% replacement and chloride penetration also effective at 30% replacement.
