INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Cement manufacturing industr y is one of the carbon dioxide
emitting sources besides deforestation and burning of fossil fuels. The
global warming is caused b y the emission of greenhouse gases, such as
CO2, to the atmosphere. Among the greenhouse gases, CO2 contributes
about 65% of global warming. The global cement industr y contributes
about 7% of greenhouse gas emission to the earths atmosphere. In order
to address environmental effects associated with cement manufacturing,
there is a need to develop alternative binders to make concrete
(Vijayakumar, et al., 2013). Samarin (2010) states that, the emphasis is
made on the commercially viable and the most economical means of the
safe use of crushed soda-lime glasses (which account for about ninety
percent of all manufactured glasses) as an aggregate in structural,
durable and dimensionally stable concretes, in which h ydraulic cements
are used as a binder.
According to Madhavi (2013), glass is widely used through
manufactured products such as sheet glassware, glass, bottles, and
vacuum tubing. Moreover, the amount of waste glass is increased over
the recent years due to the growing use of glass products. Several t ypes

For this
reason, there is a strong need to valorize this waste glass. The use of the
waste glass in the construction industr y is among the mos t attractive

option because it can consume a significant quantity of these materials;
it does not ask for ver y high conditions of qualit y and are used in
several widespread building sites of construction (Khmiri, et al., 2012).
Khatib, et al., (2012) states that, the use of rec ycled waste glass in
Portland cement has attracted a lot of interest worldwide to the
increased disposal costs and concerns. Also, according Malik M. (2013)
the use of waste glass in concrete will preserve natural resources
particularly river sand and thus make concrete construction industr y
sustainable. Glass used for containers, jars and bottles is soda lime
silica counts for 80% of the rec ycled glass. The glass being mainl y
silica-based material in amorphous form can be used in cement-based
applications. Due to its silica content, ground glass is considered a
pozzolanic materials as such can exhibit properties similar to other
pozzolanic materials such as fly ash, metakaolin, slag, and wheat husk
ash (Khatib, et al., 2012).
A major concern for using waste glass in concrete is the alkalisilica reaction (ASR) that takes place between the alkalis in cement and
the reactive silica in glass. The glass color also has an effect on Alkali
silica reaction expansion. For instance clear soda-lime glass was found
to be mos t reactive followed b y brown glass. (Degirmenci, Yilmaz, and
Cakir, 2011). However, Megeswari L.M. (2010) states that if the waste

glass is finely ground, under 75 m this effect does not occur and mortar

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1 CEMENT
Cement is a major industrial commodity that is manufactured
commerciall y in over 120 countries. Mixed with aggregates and water,
cement forms the ubiquitous concrete which is used in the construction
of buildings, roads, bridges and other structures. In countries, even
where wood is in good supply, concrete also features heavil y in the
construction of residential buildings. In fact twice as much concrete is
used in construction around the world than the total of all other building
materials. Despite rising costs cement has recorded a stead y growth in
C I V I L
E N G I N E E R I N G
ADAMSONUNIVERSITY
its usage in the construction industry of Sri Lanka. Although there are
several different t ypes of cement, Ordinar y Portland Cement (OPC) is
the mos t widel y used.
Portland cement is made b y heating raw materials rich in oxides of
Silicon, Calcium, Aluminum and Iron to temperatures of around 1,2001,400C and the clinker formed is finally ground to fine particles to
cement. In the function of the cement in concreting, the fine cement
particles are broken down into even s maller particles thus increasing the
reactive surface b y cr ys tallizing out from the supersaturated solution
formed. A series of immensel y strong bonds form between the particles,
making a network in which the aggregates are trapped (Ja yamanna et al.,
2010).
2.1.1 COMPOSITION OF CEMENT
The main chemicals constituents of cement are Tricalcium Siicate
(C3S), Dicalcium Silicate (C2S), Tricalcium Auminate (C4A), and
Tetracalcium Aluminoferrite (C4AF).
Of these compounds, C3S and C3A are mainly responsible for the
strength of the cement. High percentages of C3S (low C2S) results in
high early strength but also heat generation as the concrete sets. The
reverse combination of low C3S and high C2S develops strengths more
slowly and generates less heat.C3A causes undesirable heat and rapid
C I V I L
E N G I N E E R I N G

ADAMSONUNIVERSITY
reacting properties which can be prevented by adding G ypsum (CaSO4)
to the final product.C3A can be converted to the more desirable C4AF by
the addition of Fe2O3 before heating, but this also inhibits the formation
of C3S.C4AF makes the cement more resistant to seawater and results in
a somewhat slower reaction which evolves less heat. For this reason
considerable efforts should be made during the manufacturing process to
ensure the correct chemical compounds in the correct ratios are present
in the raw materials before introduction of the material to the kiln.
2.2 CONCRETE
In the world construction, one material used above all is concrete.
Concrete is far more produced all over the world than an y other man
made material. It is incredibly versatile, and is used in almost all major
construction projects (Vaso ya, 2015). Concrete is mos t widel y used man
made construction material and its demand is increasing day b y da y.
Concrete is one of the oldest and universal construction materials, and is
suitable for the production of wide range of products and constructions
both, at construction sites and factories (Finoenok et al., 2013)
Concrete is in general, cement-based concrete, which meets
special performance requirement with regard to workabilit y, strength and

ADAMSONUNIVERSITY
durabilit y, that cannot always be obtained with techniques and materials
adopted for producing conventional cement concrete. Fine aggregate is
important construction material, which is widely used, in construction
works (Madhavi et al., 2013).
Concrete is a structural material that contains some simple
elements but when mixed with water would form a rock like material.
Concrete mix is comprised of coarse aggregates usuall y gravel, fine
aggregates usually sand, cement, water, and an y necessary additives.
Concrete possesses man y favorable properties as a structural material,
among which are its high compressive strength and its property as a fireresistant element to a considerable extent. The unfavorable properties
include a relativel y weak tensile strength as compared to its compressive
strength and the abilit y to form cracks in unpredictable areas. With steel
bars as internal reinforcement, the cracks can be controlled to some
degree. Unlike other building materials such as steel and plastic,
concrete is not a uniform material due to the fact that it contains a ratio
of gravel and sand, thus failure mode or location of the failure is
unpredictable (Siam, 2011).
Vaso ya (2015) states that it is clear that various wastes are
suitable in the construction industry especiall y in concrete making.
Industrial and agricultural waste materials such as fl y ash, blast furnace
slag, quarry dust, tile waste, broken glass waste, waste aggregate from

Glass has the properties which have made it popular and useful
such as it absorbs, refracts or trans mits light, it has no sharp melting
point, it is affected by alkalis, it has no definite cr ys talline structure, it
is extensively brittle, it is not usuall y affected b y air and water, it is
available in beautiful colors, and it is possible to weld glass pieces by
fusion (Altaf et al., 2013).
Glass is widely used in our lives through manufactured products
such as sheet glassware, glass, bottles, and vacuum tubing. It is a unique
inert material that could be rec ycled man y times without changing its
chemical properties. The amount of waste glass is graduall y increased
over the recent years due to an ever growing use of glass products
(Madhavi et al., 2013).
Glass is silicate material, containing different oxides, the main
component is silicate oxide SiO in amorphous state. Several types of
glass, such as soda-lime silicate, alkali silicate, bore-silicate glass are
producing in the world. (Shakhmenko et al., 2015). According to Mishra
(2014), the mos t common t ype of glass is formed b y melting a mixture
of silica (SiO2), soda ash (Na), and lime (CaCO) at high temperatures,

internal stresses which can, and usually do result in cracking and
spalling.

The

is graduall y increased over the years due to an ever-growing use of glass
products.
The use of rec ycled waste glass in Portland cement has attracted a
lot of interest worldwide to the increased disposal costs and concerns.
Glass used for containers, jars and bottles is soda lime silica counts for
80% of the rec ycled glass. The glass being mainly silica-based material
in amorphous form can be used in cement-based applications. Due to its
silica content, ground glass is considered a pozzolanic materials as such
can exhibit properties similar to other pozzolanic materials such as fl y
ash, metakaolin, slag, and wheat husk ash (Khatib et al., 2012).
Degirmenci et al., (2011) state that a major concern for using
waste glass in concrete is the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) that takes
place between the alkalis in cement and the reactive silica in glass. The
glass color also has an effect on Alkali silica reaction expansion. For
instance clear soda-lime glass was found to be mos t reactive followed by
brown glass. It was also indicated that green glass was more usable than
brown because its expansion was less than that of brown glass.
Depending on the size of glass particle, green glass of fine particles can
reduce expansion. This ma y be due to the chromium oxide which is
added to the glass to create its green color.
A particle size of 75mm or less is reported to be favorable for
pozzolanic activity. The high alkali content of glass is a t ypical concern
C I V I L
E N G I N E E R I N G
19
ADAMSONUNIVERSITY
for its use in concrete, but studies have shown that finely ground glass
does not contribute to alkali-silica reaction (Khmiri et al., 2012).
Roz-Ud-Din & Parviz (2012) state that when glass is used in ne
particle size (13um) as partial replacement for cement in concrete, it is
estimated to undergo pozzolanic reaction that results in improved
microstructure of rec ycled aggregate concrete through improvement in
the qualit y of remnant mortar/paste attached to the surface of rec ycled
aggregate that subsequently forms interface between rec ycled aggregate
and new mortar in recycled aggregate concrete.
Waste reprocessing problems are very important in the world and
are being resolved intensivel y, because more and more new buildings are
built and old, unused constructions are demolished. In respect to the
ecological safet y and in order to save natural resources, concrete waste
can be utilized for the production of high qualit y products b y returning
this waste to the production technological cycle. (Finoenok et al.,
2011)

source of which is usually Portland cement. This reaction results in
formation of a gel, the volume of which, in presence of moisture,
increases over a period in time. If gel is present in relativel y large local
concentrations and if it is restrained b y the adjacent matrix and/or
aggregate, significant internal pressures can be developed in concrete.
As concrete is relativel y weak in tension these pressures usually lead to
concrete failure in a form of cracking and spalling. The factors affecting
formation and expansion of gel, as a result of alkali-silica reactions,
were investigated in the earl y 1950-s at the Commonwealth Scientific
and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in Melbourne, State of
Victoria, Australia (Samarin, 2010). However, data reported in the
literature show that if the waste glass is finel y ground, under 75 m this
effect does not occur and mortar durabilit y is increased (Mageswari.L.M
& B.Vidivelli, 2010). Very finely ground glass has been shown to be
excellent filler and ma y have sufficient pozzolonic properties to serve as
partial cement replacement, the effect of ASR appear to be reduced with
finer glass particles, with replacement level ( Vijayakumar et al., 2013).

Position the bearing strips at the center top of the specimen so
that the supplementary bearing bar and the center of the specimen
are directly beneath the center of thrust of the spherical bearing
block.
RATE OF LOADING
Apply the load continuously and without shock, at a constant rate
within the range 100 to 200 psi/min [0.7 to 1.4 MPa/min] splitting
tensile stress until failure of the specimen.
CALCULATION
Record the maximum applied load indicated by the testing
machine at failure. Note the type of failure and the appearance of
the concrete. Calculate the splitting tensile strength of the
specimen as follows:
T=2P/ld
(equation 3.6)
Where:
T = splitting tensile strength, psi [MPa],
P = maximum applied load indicated by the testing machine, lbf
[N],
l = length, in. [mm]
d = diameter, in. [mm]

3.7 METHOD OF ANALYSIS
The design mix proportion of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of
Pulverized Soda-Lime Glass replaced cement mix is to be use in this
study that the effect of minimal amount of replacement must first be
considered before using higher range of percentages. The determination
of percentages to be used is based from other studies, the majority of
most related used percentage ranging from 10% up to 40%. The
significance of using these percentages is the first basis of data analys is
before making another test of using a higher percent. The design mixes
are proportioned by the weight of the cement as termed in ASTM
standards for cement replacement.
3.8 STATISTICAL TREATMENT
The data obtain from the experiment will be s ystematically
tabulated according to its mechanical properties and days of curing.
Percentage
The statistical treatment of data use to determine the
percentage increase/decrease of the mechanical properties with
respect to days of curing will be computed using the Percentage
Formula as shown:
