A Study on Mechanical Properties of Waste Glass Powder and Lime Stone Powder Mixed Concrete

Glass is a non-bio degradable material. In this study we use waste glass material and limestone powder as replacement materials. Use of glass powder as a partial replacement can improve thechemical, mechanical and physical properties of concrete. Use of glass as replacing material alternative todumping it as a waste reduces the consumption of natural resources. By using waste glass powder and limestone powder, production of cement can be reduced and also cost of cement production also reduced. Theirmechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and durability tests were alsoconducted and their results were investigated. The addition of limestone powder can effectively improve theshrinkage performance of cement mortar. The compressive strength test results indicated that concrete gavebetter strength and strength tests on concrete were carried out by adding 0–20% waste glass powder, inwhich binder (cement + lime stone powder) ratio is kept the same for all replacement levels. The lime stonepowder increases the compressive strength and tensile strength.
