Abstract

Abstract: The use of solid waste in valuable products becomes a worthwhile deal for individuals, organizations and countries themselves. Waste glass powder was also considered one of the world's leading waste materials. This research examines the physico-chemical, thermal and morphological characteristics of waste glass powder, as part of its use for cement replacement. The fine glass powder pozzolanic qualities make it suited for concrete applications. Extensive testing of cement replacement for the age 7 and 28 days in the range of 5 to 15% by waste glass powder has been carried out in terms of the Compressive Strength Test (CST) and Slump Test (ST). Experimental results show the improved economic aspects of concrete with the utilization of waste glass powder. In terms of cost, it was observed that green concrete have approximated 19% economic as compared to ordinary concrete. The study would provide a potential to utilize more concerned wastes like glass powder in green concrete.
