The Strength Characteristics of Concrete Blended with Recycled Concrete, Quarry Dust and Broken Glass

Conventional concrete mixes produced from naturally occurring aggregates offer benefits in strength, workability, volume stability and permeability, as well a wide range of properties. However, with increasing availability construction waste materials, such demolished broken glass, there is the need to explore feasibility using recycled glass replacement for natural crushed Portland cement concrete, determine their compressive tensile strength comparison conventional concrete. Concrete specimens varying percentages were tested strength. Six different designed study, percentage 0, 25, 50 75 by aggregate 1:2:4 mix. In total, 54 cubes cylinders cast split respectively. Recycled / found be good replacements production, although used mix was an important controlling parameter. With regard workability it that had similar characteristics mixes. Partially replaced showed variation between 15% 30% It recommended can utilised mass works structural members subjected low loads.
