Abstract

The material of glass has been used in various forms for versatile applications but it has a low life span compared to other materials. After the utilization of glass products, it has been either used as landfills or stored with stack piled. The landfills with broken glass products could not be the right choice, as it is a nonbiodegradable substance. Due to the strong need for alternative solution to landfills, the glass has been used in the concrete industry on a trial basis. For the concrete industry, mainly three places of waste glass is tried to suit, i.e. replacement to coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and cement. However, the replacement of coarse aggregate has found lower results in compressive strength perspective. The similar phase of pozzolanic materials has seen in construction applications. The present work introduces the use of glass powder as a replacement for cement to assess the pozzolanic activity of fine glass powder in concrete. The experimentally evaluates its performance with other pozzolanic materials like silica fume and fly ash. The compressive strength study is conducted by considering specimens 15% and 30% replacement of cement by silica fume, fly ash, and glass powder. In addition, the particle size effect is evaluated using glass powder of size 150–100 μm. After tests, the results concludes that waste glass power has pozzolanic behavior. It reacts with lime at the early stage of hydration forming extra C-S-H gel and easily forming denser cement matrix and increases the durability property of concrete. When compared with fly ash mix concrete, fine glass powder concrete found slightly more strength.
