Abstract:
— Significant amount of research is being carried
out around the world to find a full or partial replacement for
cement. Better and environment friendly materials are being
considered because the production of cement contributes a
significant amount in greenhouse gas generation. Significant
amount of research is going on regarding replacing cement in
concrete with waste material. Glass powder can be used a
partial replacement for cement in concrete. It has been found
that glass shows pozzollonic properties when in powder form
(less than 150μm).
In this paper, an attempt has been made to replace cement
with glass powder in concrete partially. The concrete with
partial replacement of cement in the range of 10% to 50% is
considered for the study of effects on the compressive strength
of concrete.
