Abstract

Industrial waste such as glass and sawdust to make room for the new and the modern is widespread in metropolitan areas due to rapid urbanization. However, very little waste is recycled or reused. The strict environmental laws and the lack of landfills in urban areas make the disposal of industrial waste problematic on the one hand and the extraction of raw materials becomes difficult on the other. This thesis presents the results of the practical investigations carried out in order to evaluate the effect of the partial replacement of cement, fine aggregates and coarse aggregates with glass and sawdust on the strength and concrete produced. For the study, a M20 class structural concrete mix (conventional concrete) was prepared using IS: 10262-2009. Subsequently, the various constituents of the concrete were replaced one after the other and finally in one, replacing them with the various sieved fractions of crushed industrial waste. Compressive strength was measured after 7 and 28 days. Therefore, the present study aims at a concrete mix in which coarse aggregates, fine aggregates and cement are partially replaced by pieces of glass (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%). Glass (1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%) and sawdust (0%, 10%, 20% and 30% respectively) were performed for concrete.
