A Rivew of Investigation on effect of glass powder and wood apple in concrete

Abstract

Today construction industry is searching a cost effective material for construction to increase the strngh.The disposal of waste glass is an environmental issue. The global warming is caused due to the emission of green house gases, such as CO2, to the atmosphere. Among the greenhouse gases, CO2 contributes about 65% of global warming. The global cement industry contributes about 7% of greenhouse gas emission to the earth’s atmosphere. Consequently efforts have been made in the concrete industry to use waste materials as partial replacement of coarse or fine aggregates and cement. Waste glass is one material which gives the properties like pozzolanic properties so that it is used as a partial replacement for cement in concrete. In this paper, an attempt has been made to find out the strength of concrete containing waste glass powder as a partial replacement of cement for concrete
