An Experimental Study on Engineering Properties of Concrete by Partial Replacement of Cement with Waste glass powder and Silica Fume

摘要

Concrete is the most versatile material used for construction all over the world. It is well known that concrete is the combination of cement, aggregates and water. The production of cement results in the formation of carbon dioxide gas causes the environmental pollution. About 7 percent of carbon dioxide gas is evolved from cement industries to atmosphere all over the world. Use of waste glass powder and silica fume in concrete as partial replacement of cement could be significant step towards development of sustainable, eco- friendly and economical infrastructure systems. In the present study waste glass powder and silica fume are used in concrete as a partial cement replacement with a view of reducing environmental pollution by minimizing the production of carbon-dioxide and to improve........
