such a bleak atmosphere, there's an outsized demand for
various materials from industrial waste. Some various
materials have already been used as a region of natural sand.
For instance ash, slag, red mud, pounded ashes were
employed in concrete mixtures as a partial replacement of
natural sand. Equally the waste glass are collected from the

size And it may be used an alternate material for natural sand
as partial replacement. In brief, successful utilization of glass
as fine mixture can flip this material into a valuable resource

B. Curing
In all however the smallest amount crucial applications,
care has to be taken to properly cure concrete, to realize best
strength and hardness. This happens once the concrete has
been placed. Cement needs a wet, controlled surroundings to
achieve strength and harden totally. The cement paste

IV. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

A. Compressive Strength Check
The compressive strength of a fabric is that price of
uniaxial compressive stress reached once the fabric fails
utterly. The compressive strength is typically obtained
through an experiment by means that of a compressive
check. The equipment used for this experiment is that the
same as that employed in a tensile check. However, instead
of applying a uniaxial tensile load, a uniaxial compressive
load is applied. As is unreal, the specimen (usually

B. SPLIT durability check
Split durability of concrete is typically found by testing
plain concrete cylinders. Cylinders of size 100mm x two
hundred millimeter were casting mistreatment M50 grade
concrete. Specimens with Nominal concrete and glass
powder concrete (glass powder is partly replaced with
Natural sand) were casted. Throughout molding, the
cylinders were manually compacted mistreatment tamping
rods. Once twenty four hours, the specimens were off from
the mould and subjected to water solidifying for twenty eight
days. Once solidifying, the specimens were tested for
compressive strength employing a label compression testing
machine.

C. Flexural Strength of PCC Beams
Flexural strength is that the one in every of the live of
durability of concrete. it's the power of a beam to resist
failure in bending. it's measured by loading un-reinforced
150mmX150mm concrete beams with a span 1200mm.
Beam of size 150mm x 150mm x 1200 millimeter were
casting mistreatment M50 grade concrete. Specimens with
Nominal concrete and glass powder concrete (glass powder
is partly replaced with Natural sand) were casted.
Throughout moulding. The beams were manually compacted
mistreatment tamping rods. Once twenty four hours, the
specimens were off from the mould and subjected to water
solidifying for 28days. Once solidifying, the specimens were
tested for compressive strength on a typical concrete. The
bed of testing machine ought to be supported, and these
rollers ought to be mounded that the gap from center is
300mm for 1200mm specimen. The beam is just supported
and subjected to at least one third points loading flexure

of rupture values for concrete mistreatment sand and glass
powder.

V. DISCUSSION
Based on the results of the materials properties and also
the experimental investigation on concrete created with glass
powder, the explanation for the variation ascertained is
summarized as follows. A. outline of fabric properties
1. Fineness modulus of sand is quite that of glass powder.
This suggests glass powder is finer than sand.
2. Grading curve of each sand and glass powder is uniform
and sand falls at intervals the bounds of zone II
3. Sand particles rounded and global wherever as glass
powder particles are angular, flaky and irregular in
form.
4. The explanations with the actual fact that tumbler
powder is finer than sand.

A. Outline of experimental investigation on concrete

Table12. 30% Replacement Beam Table Load Vs
Deflection Curve For 30% Replacement Beam
1. The compressive strength of concrete with glass powder
is quite the traditional concrete. the rise in compressive
strength is that the interlocking properties of particles
within the glass powder.
2. Split durability of concrete will increase for glass
powder. The explanation for variation is that the form
and texture of glass powder.
3. Flexural strength (modulus of rupture) of concrete will
increase for glass powder. The explanations for
variation are the form and texture of the glass powder.

VI. CONCLUSION
The development of concrete with glass powder as fine
mixture has been with success completed and also the results
were conferred and analyzed within the previous chapters.
Supported the check results of M50 concrete the subsequent
conclusions are drawn: A. General Conclusions
1. Its potential to interchange glass powder by scarce sand
for concrete.
2. The glass powder concrete is a smaller amount
practicable, robust and study compared to sand concrete

B. Specific conclusions
1. The rise of 9% throughout the 28 day cube compressive
strength of glass powder concrete when put next to
standard concrete.
