Structural Performance and Characteristics of Concrete with Crushed Glass as Partial Replacement of Sand
Replacing concrete constituent materials with different recycled byproducts have become inevitable due to several factors such as depletion of naturally occurring parent materials and environmental pollutions. In developing countries like most of African countries, the demand for civil engineering works is inexhaustible. Hence, concrete is in high need which results continuous demand of concrete constituent materials. One of the ideal solutions to this problem is replacing concrete constituents by recycled glass in crushed as well as powdered form. This paper presents the structural performance of concrete with inclusion of crushed glass in different percentage levels by weight of sand (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100%). Six treatments were applied on plain concrete of grade C50. Compressive strength and flexural strength tests were conducted at 7th and 28th day of casting age in order to evaluate the performance of early strength and 28th day strength. Thermal analysis was also carried out in order to evaluate the thermal rigidity of concrete inclusion of different levels of crushed glass. Sample specimens were exposed to two different heat levels (200 and 600 °C) in muffle furnace. The test results revealed that crushed glass inclusion in plain concrete has a positive influence in strength and performance at elevated temperature.
