Use of Recycled Glass Bottles as Fine Aggregates


Scientific Essay, 2015

4 Pages


Abstract or Introduction

This study is aimed to design a concrete mixture with recycled bottles as a fine aggregate for housing projects (finely powdered waste glasses are used as a partial replacement). On mixing the concrete with waste glass powder, the workability of concrete, the compressive strength and also the durability of concrete are expected to increase. Further, the density of glass concrete is also reduced as compared to standard mixture of concrete. Thus waste glass can effectively be used as fine aggregate replacement without much change in strength.

This paper attempts to review over the use of glass aggregates in cement mixture thereby understanding its feasibility of recycling.
