An Experimental Study on Partially Replacing Fine Aggregate with Stone Dust and Cement with Glass Powder for M-30 and M-40 Grade of Concrete
摘要
In recent times, there has been growing focus on environmental protection and sustainable development. As a result, the stock of industrial waste and by-products has become more common. One idea is to consider recycling and utilizing glass, which contains a lot of silica, as this can help decrease the use of natural resources and create alternative materials. In this regard, experimental study was conducted to analyze the green and hardened properties of concrete by using WG with cement up to 20% and stone dust which replace 0%, 10%, 15%, 20% with fine aggregate. Evaluate compressive strength after 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days of M-30 and M-40 grade inert matrix which was prepared with substitute glass and stone dust with cement and sand while maintaining constant w/c ratio. In terms, replacement of WG concrete properties was analyzed. In most of the cases, workability-enhancing expressions are substituted of WG. After 28 days, the waste glass-provided pozzolanic strength activity for different proportion with replacement of sand was examined. These innovative accomplishments address the inherent difficulties of employing glass trash in infrastructure and building projects for more environmentally friendly and sustainable concrete mixtures.
