ABSTRACT

The importance of coarse aggregate in concrete cannot be overemphasized. Glass

forms a major component of solid waste in many countries and can be recycled after

use. Although, small proportion used by consumers has been recycled and reuse while

about 70-80% is disposed in the landfill and this constitutes to environmental waste.

This work investigated the suitability of glass as a partial replacement of conventional

aggregate (crushed granite) in the production of concrete. The concrete was produced

with coarse aggregates and were replaced by glass at 15%, 25%, 35% and 45% using

a mix ratio of 1:2:4 with a water cement ratio of 0.6. Several tests were carried out

ranging from aggregate to fresh and hardened concrete test. It was observed that the

specific gravity of the glass was lower than that of granite was causing a reduction in

the densities of the concrete. Workability of the concrete increased with the increase

in the glass content which is indicated by the result of the slump test which gave 5mm,

10mm, 20mm, 40mm and 45mm for the 0%, 15%, 25%, 35% and 45% replacements.

Reduction of the strength of the concrete increased at the increase in the percentage of

the glass. The compressive strength of concrete with 100% granite at 28 days is

26N/mm2, while that of concrete gave 25.04 N/mm

2 strengths, 24.37N/mm

2, 22.22

N/mm2 and 21.55N/mm

2, for 15%, 25%, 35% and 45% replacement of granite with

glass respectively. Concrete up to 20 N/mm2 strengths can be used for structural work.

Therefore, it is recommended that aggregates can be replaced up to 45%, but 15% is

not recommended.

Effect of Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate by Crushed Broken Glass on Properties of

Concrete

1. INTRODUCTION

Concrete is a composite material which comprises primarily of cement, the water's fine and

coarse aggregates. The coarse aggregates which are generally crushed rocks with sizes bigger

than 4.75mm while fine aggregates are basically sand which could be obtained from land or

water and their particle size should be less than 4.75mm. Increasing cost of these materials

has greatly hindered the development of shelter and other infrastructural facilities in Nigeria

and other developing countries. There arises the need for engineering consideration of the use

of cheaper and locally available materials to meet desired needs, enhance self-efficiency, and

lead to an overall reduction in construction cost for sustainable development.

One of the major problems of developing countries is improper management of the vast

amount of waste generated by various human activities (Robert, 2012). Quantities of waste

glass and steel wastes have been on the rise in recent years due to an increase in

industrialization and the rapid improvement in the standard of living. Unfortunately, the

majority of waste glass and steel wastes are is not being recycled, but rather abandoned and is,

therefore, the cause of serious problems such as waste of natural resources and environmental

problem. Some of the non-degradable waste, of which glass is included cannot be properly

disposed, except by recycling them and the limited number of properly constructed landfills in

Nigeria has made the disposal of the waste a serious challenge. Landfills do not constitute an

environmental solution to the disposal of non-degradable waste (EsraaEmam and Sherif,

2012).

Use of waste material as aggregates in civil engineering applications is beneficial because

it reduces the environmental impact and economic cost of quarrying operations, processing,

and transportation. According to Khatib et al., 2012, the energy required to reuse the

recyclable material is less than that of virgin materials. Over the years several attempts has

been made by researchers to use waste materials in the production of concrete and some of the

materials used includes sawdust, fly ash, fuel ash palm kernel shells, periwinkle shell, glass

etc. This has in great measure catered for the problem which could result from improper

disposal of the waste and the cost of disposal.

Since the demand of concrete in the construction industry is increasing day by day, this

study has a lot of significance in the assessment of the performance of concrete with partial

replacement of coarse aggregate with crushed broken glass. The use of crushed, broken glass

as coarse aggregate greatly enhances the aesthetic appeal of the concrete. The results from this

study will be useful and serve as a guide in knowing the percentage of glass replacement that

will achieve optimum compressive and flexural strength in the production of concrete using

glass in partial replacement of coarse aggregate.

The economic recession has led to the increase in prices of materials used in production of

concrete, which invariably impact on the rate at which infrastructural development take place

in the country.

Shelter which arguably the most important need of man has been jeopardised by this

problem as about seven million are without shelter according Punch (2012). This study is

timely as it is meant to address the present housing problem in Nigeria through the use of

waste materials which would have caused harm to the society.

Recent research findings have shown that concrete made with recycled glass aggregate

has shown better long term strength and better thermal insulation due to the better thermal

properties of the glass aggregates. Recycled glass as aggregate can also greatly enhance the

aesthetic appeal of the concrete. Glass is a unique inert material that could be recycled many

times without changing its chemical properties. The major aim of environmental authorities is

Onyeka, F. C

http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 358 [email protected]

to reduce, as far as possible, the disposal of postconsumer glass in landfill and diversion to

economically viable glass product is a great gain.

However, review study by Rashed (2014) showed that previous studies with glass addition

were not conclusive considering workability and strength while the chloride resistance of

glass added concrete was found to be similar with control condition. Therefore, this study will

examine critically the strength properties of concrete whose coarse aggregate is partially

replaced with glass.

The aim of this study is to assess the performance of concrete with partial replacement of

coarse aggregates with crushed broken glass. The specific objectives of the study are as

follows:

To design a concrete mixes using crushed glass products waste chips as aggregates

To ascertain compressive strength of concrete mode using glass waste as partial replacement

of coarse aggregate

To ascertain workability of concrete mode using glass product waste chip as partial

replacement of coarse aggregate

To compare the performance of conventional concrete and concrete produced with crushed

glass waste as coarse aggregate.

To determine the optimum percentage at which coarse aggregate can be replaced by crushed

glass waste chips

about 25 to 30 % lighter than the coarse aggregate used making it a great light aggregate and

it will reduce the overall weight of the concrete.

3.3. Slump Analysis of the Fresh Concrete Mix

The slump ranged from 10 to 45mm which indicates and increase in the workability of the

concrete at the increase in the percentage of the glass. It is obvious that the bond between the

cement and the aggregate reduced at the increase in the glass percentage leading to increase in

the workability.

The following results were obtained from the cone slump test having height 300mm

performed within 2minutes of batching and mixing.

Figure 5 Results for Slump Test

3.4. Density Analysis of Hardened Concrete

From the concrete weight, different densities are thus computed below after 24 hours of

moulding with cubes having surface volume of 150mmx150mmx150mm in accordance to EN

12390-7, BS1881:114.

Densities of the normal concrete is higher than that of the glass concrete. The concrete

density decrease at the increase in the percentage of the glass. This reduction in density is as a

result of low specific gravity of glass compared to normal coarse aggregate. The light density

of glass concrete makes it suitable for Super structure especially in high rise structures.

After batching casting and de-moulding after 24 hours the following results were obtained

for the various concrete from control to glass at various water cement ratio. As shown below.

Figure 6 Average Density of Concrete after curing for 7, 14 and 28 days

From the figure above the lowest glass concrete density is 2394.07kg/m3 which is not too

far from the normal concrete density of 2400 kg/m3

minimum.

3.5. Water Absorption of Concrete after the Curing Period

This is presented as the percentage of water absorbed by standard and sawdust Concrete for

various curing period. The water absorption capacity of the concrete is determined by the

changes in the weight of the cubes after the curing days and this done with the formula below

Wabs =

the percentage absorption for the different water

cement ratio.

The result obtained from the water absorption test is summarized in the table below.

It was observed that the percentage of water absorbed by the concrete decrease at the

increase in the percentage of glass. This could be attributed to the impermeable nature of the

glass and this reduces the effects the curing would have hard on the strength of the concrete.

Figure 7 Water Absorption capacity of the Concrete for 7, 14 and 28 days

From figure 7, the best water absorption capacity of the concrete was achieved at the 20%

replacement with glass while the normal concrete gave the best water absorption capacity.

3.6. Compressive Strength of Concrete after 7, 14, and 28 Days Curing

After the curing and the concrete crushed with the compression machine, the load tabulated in

Table 16, thus the compressive strength calculated using the expression

Fcu =

for the mean crushing load.

The compressive strength of the concrete reduced gradual at the increase in the percentage

of the coarse aggregates replaced with coarse glass aggregate. It was observed that the 7days

strength of the glass concrete was higher than that of the normal aggregate, but the strength as

the curing days increased could not improve more that of normal concrete.

The best strength of the concrete was achieved at the 25% replacement with glass, since

the in 28days compressive strength

4. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

4.1. Conclusion

The major objectives of this work are examining the possibility of re-using glass waste as a

partial replacement for coarse aggregates in concrete production. The properties of the glass

such as it particle distribution and specific gravity were determined. It was observed that the

specific gravity of the glass used for the study fall below the specific gravity in the normal

granite coarse aggregate by about 1.3 times and this caused a reduction in the overall weight

and densities of the concrete.

It was observed that the percentage of water absorbed by the concrete decrease at the

increase in the percentage of the glass. This could be attributed to the impermeable nature of

the glass and this reduced the effects the curing would have hardened on the strength of the

concrete.

The workability of the concrete increase with increase in the glass percentage owing to the

fact that the bond between the aggregates and the reduced to the reduction in the plasticity of

the concrete at the increase in the glass content.

The compressive strength of the concrete reduced gradually at the increase in the

percentage of the coarse aggregates replaced with coarse glass aggregate. It was observed that

the 7days strength of the glass concrete was higher than that of the normal aggregate, but the

strength as the curing days increased could not improve more that of normal concrete.

The control mix generally gave more strength than that of the glass concrete, but the best

strength of the concrete was achieved at the 25% replacement with glass, since the in 28days

compressive strength. The 25% strength is 25.04KN/m3 which is just about 3.8% lower than

that of the normal concrete mix therefore it is concluded that the aggregates can be replaced

effectively by waste glass up to 25%.

Utilization of waste glass in concrete production will invariably help to reduce the

negative impact of these waste on the environment and will reduce in no small measure the

over cost of concrete production.

4.2. Recommendations

Based on the results, discussions and conclusions, the following recommendations are made:

A compromise between the strength of concrete, cost savings of fine aggregate replacement

and reduction of pollution to the environment would allow a replacement of up to 25% of the

coarse aggregate by waste glass. Since the concrete produced is light weight it will can

efficiently use in high rise structures will load reduction is needed.

The concrete mix with coarse aggregate replaced by waste glass should be incorporated with a

good admixture such as plasticizer to reduce the rate of segregation and bleeding. This will

definitely improve the strength of the concrete by up to 50%.

I recommend a further research on the effect of the chemical composition of the glass

aggregate on the concrete strength and as well as examination of the strength properties of the

glass such as aggregate split tensile strength and abrasion test.

Due to its low water absorption capacity in its core matrix it is should not be used in areas

prone to concrete shrinkage resulting from excess heat like the Northern part of Nigeria.
