Experimental Investigation on Concrete Cube Using Glass Beads Material

Glass is a special substance that is commonly utilized for many different purposes and comes in a wide range of colours and shapes. A significant amount of glass garbage is composed of coloured bottles. Glass garbage may be less harmful to the environment if it is recycled. Some indecomposable wastes, however, are buried. The ecosystem will suffer as a result of this. Using coloured glass as a replacement material in other industries, including the concrete industry, is a practical way to reduce the amount of non-recyclable trash. The impact of substituting discarded glass particles for aggregate on the weight and compressive strength of concrete is examined in this study. 36 cubic examples were cast in order to accomplish the goal; the specimens were composed of grade M30 concrete mix, with leftover glass bead fragments mixed in with the remaining specimens. To prevent the Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR), Alccofine 1203 was added to the mixture of glass bead specimens. Overall, the findings demonstrated that the concrete's compressive strength was enhanced by substituting glass bead particles for fine aggregate by more than 20%. In each case, the weight of the concrete is almost the same. In summary, the findings suggest that 20% is the ideal percentage for substituting glass particles for aggregate.
