An Experimental Study on Crushed Glass Material for the Partial Replacement of Natural Sand in Concrete
Property Results
II. EXPERIMENTAL STUDY Colour white
Specific gravity 2.57
A. Materials The slight variation in specific gravity of crushed glass
material is due to the dryness of material, manufactured from
i. Cement the glass factory.
Cement is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens and can
bind other materials together. In this experimental study,
Ordinary Portland cement 53 grade conforming to IS:
12269-1987 is used. The properties of cement used are given
below in Table 1.

An Experimental Study on Crushed Glass Material for the Partial Replacement of Natural Sand in Concrete
The test results obtained for seven days compressive and split As per the results obtained, it shows a notable increase in
tensile strength was used to analyze the gain of early strength strength for the tests conducted after 28 days curing. The test

replacement, the concrete gains strength in 7, 14 and 28 days.
From the above graph, the results obtained for compression It is evident that concrete gains strength rapidly in the initial
