| dc.description.abstract | In this research experimental study was carried out on how to use recycled crushed glass as partial replacement of coarse aggregate for structural concrete and decorative concrete purpose for production of terrazzo. The research was carried out by conducting laboratory tests for concrete making materials (coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and recycled crushed glass). Concrete mix design was prepared for C25 and C30 classes of concrete using ACI mix design procedure. The coarse aggregate in each grade of concrete was replaced by recycled crushed glass at 10%, 20% and 30% by weight. The control mix without incorporation of recycled crushed glass was prepared which was used as reference for comparison of test results with those specimens produced by partial replacement. Generally 8 concrete mixes were prepared including the control mix for both C25 and C30 classes of concrete. Slump test was conducted for each grade of fresh concrete. The properties of hardened concrete were studied by conducting compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength tests. The compressive strength test was carried out at the 3 day, whereas the flexural and splitting tensile strength tests were carried out at the 28 Furthermore, terrazzo concrete was prepared by partially replacing coarse aggregate at 10%, 20% and 30% with recycled crushed glass. Laboratory tests were conducted on the terrazzo at the 28 th day. The tests conducted were water absorption, surface water absorption and transverse strength. The test results obtained by partial replacement were compared with the result of the control mix. In line with it the results obtained by concrete specimens produced by partial replacement were slightly greater than that of the control mix. The general result reveals that recycled crushed glass can be used for structural concrete and for decorated concrete purposes. | en_US |
