Abstract

This study presents an experimental survey aimed at evaluating the viability of incorporating glass powder (GP) as a partial substitute for cement in concrete matrix. The research focuses on assessing the effect of this sustainable alternative in concrete by investigating the various properties of fresh concrete such as workability, mechanical and durability aspects. Specimens were prepared with GP replacement to cement at 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% levels, with comparative analyses conducted against conventional concrete. Fresh concrete properties, including workability, were examined to understand the initial behaviour of mix proportions. Mechanical characteristics, such as compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths, were evaluated at ages of 7, 28, and 56 days to determine the long-term performance of the concrete. Additionally, durable characteristics, such as water permeability, water absorption and rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT), were assessed to understand the concrete’s resistance to environmental factors. The results indicated that the incorporation of glass powder led to variations in fresh concrete properties, with workability decreasing as the replacement level increased. However, the mechanical strengths of concrete showed promising trends, with certain replacement percentages exhibiting comparable or even superior performance to conventional concrete. Notably, at a 10% replacement level, the concrete demonstrated optimal mechanical properties. The durability assessments exposed that glass powder replacement influenced the concrete’s resistance to water absorption and permeability. Generally, as the replacement level increased, improvements in durability were observed, indicating the potential for enhancing concrete’s resistance to environmental degradation.

Keywords: Glass powder, compressive strength, durability, rapid chloride permeability, environmental degradation.
