---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract – The problem of the waste being produced which is not disposable in any way leaving behind the option of dumping is not the real solution of the problem. In the today scenario, the world is carrying out the research over the properties of the waste produced from industries with an aim of utilizing the valuable component of the waste which is produced so that its utilization could be done partially or fully used as secondary raw material in other industrial branches. With such aims and such utilization in the construction waste like steel or iron, cement, binder etc. We have been continuously facing problem with the broken glass from the window or other broken glass as the production of such item is far away from the area and disposing of them is difficult. Recycle option is also not suitable as due to cuts during the process of handling. The use of them in the development of the concrete could be an appropriate solution rather than dumping as a lot of stress is being put on the natural resources such as aggregates, binder. Over the period of time concrete has being become essential part of the development of the country. We have been looking for the alternative products for the replacements of the ingredient with the industrial waste in such a way the optimum mix could be created.
Keywords: concrete mix, waste glass, compressive strength, split tensile strength. 1. INTRODUCTION Sand is required to make glass. The formation of the glass is as it is made up of the mixture of silica sand which is also known as white sand and quartz sand in physical world, lime stone and soda ash in a definite proportion. These minerals are blended together and heated to molten at the temperature of between 1400-1600 °C. The resultant obtained is then cut and shaped by using different processes. The problem of waste glass is increasing day by day to counter it they have been used in developing concrete. The stress over natural resources is more as we have been a developing country and infrastructure development is the necessity of the modern world. In the present time, we have been looking for the alternative to our natural resources and stressing on the utilization of the waste specially that which has dumping problem and whose property can be used as the replacement of one of the ingredient required for the manufacturing of the concrete. With this aim utilization of waste glass which is produced in the locally glass house, it is than powdered and replaced by the fine aggregate partial in the development of the concrete.
2. MATERIAL The materials used for the preparation of the concrete can be broadly classified as base material, filler material, binders and admixtures with definite proportion taken by weight. The combination of the inert and reactive materials is used for this study. The individual materials used in this work are discussed with their properties and their result is discussed below: 2.1 Cement: Ordinary portland cement of 43 grade was used in this study which was provided by Ultratech Cements Ltd. 2.2 Aggregates: There are two types of aggregate being used for the experiment: Fine aggregate and course aggregate. The Fine aggregates used in this research are taken from nearby river tributary of Beas having max size of 4.75mm. Coarse aggregates used are of crushed stone from the nearby crusher such that the stone passing through 20mm IS sieve and retained on 4.75mm IS sieve. 2.3 Waste Glass Powder: Discarded material from the glass manufacturing process or from used consumer products made of glass were obtained from nearby glass manufacturing house were collected and brought to the lab. The waste obtained was then crushed in Los Angeles abrasion apparatus till we get powdered glass and ultimately sieved through 1.18mm IS sieve for further use. The x-rd of the sample was done and chemical composition of the powder is:
