Effect of glass processing waste content on concrete properties
Santrauka
In this study, a concrete was prepared using glass processing waste, which replaced a certain amount of cement. These experiments were conducted to determine how the amount of glass processing waste affects the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. The experiments used cement, sand, dolomite, chemical admixtures, water and glass processing waste. In the experiments the amount of cement was replaced with glass processing waste from 5% to 30%. For the fresh concrete mixture, density and air content were determined. For the hardened concrete density, compressive strength, flexural strength, and water absorption, were determined. From the tests, it was determined that when up to 20% of the cement was replaced with glass processing waste, the properties of the concrete improved. Based on all the results obtained from the study, it was concluded that the optimal amount of cement that can be replaced with glass processing waste is up to 20%.
