Impact of Glass on Concrete Properties as Substitution of Aggregate

Abstract:

The improvement of mixture quality has been the priority of the modern-day construction industry while reducing the financial implications of the final product. This investigation concentrated on the application of glass as fine aggregate in the production of concrete. The fine aggregates used were partially substituted with fine glass. The replacement was done at (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%) by weight of fine aggregates, with other materials constant. A concrete mixture was prepared and the slump flow test and density were examined. The concrete specimens were produced, cured, and compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile intensity tested at 7, 14, and 28 durations. The workability and density of concrete reduce as the percentage replacement increases and the maximum reduction are (25 and 6.5%) respectively for (50%) glass aggregate replacement. The highest development in concrete compressive strength, flexural and splitting tensile intensity is (16.4, 14.7, and 15.1%) for 28 days of the glass aggregate percentage (20%) and the highest decrease is (3.4, 3.1, and 3.6%) for the percentage (50%).
