Experimental Investigation on Concrete by Partial Replacement of Cement by Glass Powder

Abstract

Concrete (cement) is the most widely used building material in the world. But it is
also responsible for roughly 7% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, making
it the second-largest industrial emitter behind coal. Technologies to produce
sustainable and greener concrete are required to be developed. One way to achieve
green concrete is to reduce cement content in concrete. This research deals with the
partial replacement of cement by glass powder in construction industry which will
reduce the impact on Environment. The glass powder is used as additional material
with various percentage,. This results increase in compressive strength, resistance
to water and chloride penetration were observed.
