Abstract:

The assessment in this research is centered on evaluating the performance of grade 20(1:2:4:0.5) concrete by substituting normal aggregates with waste glass graded into fine and coarse specimens and the replacement carried out in the ratio of 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% for river sand and gravel aggregates replacements.Also predictive models were deduced from data obtained from the experimental study for estimation of the strength of glass concrete. The experimental and predictive models established for all the cases investigated shows a good correlation as targeted strength were reasonably achieved. Generally the results shows the control mix gave the best strength with the exception of 20% fine/coarse glass replacement suggesting an optimum replacement of 20% for both cases.
