Utilizing Crushed Waste Glass as a Sustainable Replacement for Fine Aggregate in Concrete

Author(s) Rojina Subba, Devender Sharma

Abstract Concrete, a vital material in modern construction, combines strength, durability, and fire resistance. However, the conventional use of river sand in concrete is ecologically concerning due to its scarcity and environmental impact. To address this, waste glass is explored as a sustainable replacement for fine aggregate. This study investigates the effects of crushed waste glass on concrete workability, water absorption, compressive strength, and flexural strength. Different glass replacement levels (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) and curing periods were considered. The research aims to optimize glass content, evaluate its impact on concrete properties, and compare its environmental effects with traditional methods. The results indicate that waste glass improves workability and reduces water absorption. Compressive and flexural strengths initially increase with glass content but decrease at higher levels, due to potential alkali-silica reaction. The study concludes that waste glass can be effectively utilized in concrete to enhance sustainability and resource conservation. Further research is recommended to explore specific applications and long-term effects.
Keywords crushed waste glass, fine aggregate replacement, concrete workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, sustainability, environmental impact.
