Fine aggregates were replaced by waste glass powder as 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% by weight for M25 mix. The concrete specimens were tested for compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, durability (water absorption) and density at 28 days of age and the results obtained were compared with those of normal concrete.
distributed fibres throughout the structural member when the added advantages of the fibre to shear resistance and crack control can be further utilised . On the other hand, the fibre concrete may also be used as a tensile skin to cover the steel reinforcement when a more efficient two – dimensional orientation of the fibres could be obtained.
Obvious advantages are, 1. Increase in toughness. this means more energy absorption ability making it suitable for airport pavements, blast resistant structures etc. 2. Increase in shear capacity when used in beams. 3. Modest increase in flexural ...
Period #10 Notes: ADMIXTURES CEMENT REPLACEMENT MATERIALS A. Brief Review Previously, the composition of portland cement was discussed, and also the hydration reaction. One of the beautiful aspects of portland cement is that when mixed with water, it becomes a liquid fresh cement paste that takes the shape of any forms into which it is placed.
May 09, 2018· Advantages of GGBS concrete. Due to the less heat of hydration the temperature rise will be less avoiding the risk of thermal cracking in large volume of concrete. High resistance to chloride attack which reduces the risk of corrosion in concrete. High resistance to .
Advantages: The glass that absorb, refracts or transmits light. It can be made transparent or translucent so it adds extraordinary beauty to the building. Glass transmits up to 80% of available natural day light in both directions without any yellowing, clouding or weathering.
Advantages And Disadvantages. Advantages: Saving in cost, material, time manpower. Shuttering and scaffolding is not necessary. Installation of building services and finishes can be done immediately. Independent of weather condition. Components produced at close supervision .so quality is good. Clean and dry work at site.
Home / Building Technology Guide / Building Materials / Uses of Glass in Construction There are various types of glasses used in construction and the use of these glasses depends on the purpose. Various purposes of glass can be for use in natural lighting, doors, windows, balconies etc.
ii National Institute of Technology Rourkela CERTIFICATE This is to certify that the thesis entitled, "Comparative Study of Waste Glass Powder as Pozzolanic Material in concrete" submitted by Ankur Meena Randheer Singh in partial fulfilments for the requirements for the award of Bachelor of Technology Degree in Civil
Highstrength concrete can resist loads that normalstrength concrete cannot. Several distinct advantages and disadvantages can be analyzed. It is important to consider all peripheral results of selecting highstrength concrete since special considerations must .
Apr 15, 2016· Using glass powder as partial replacement of cement in concrete can provide: Good mechanical characteristics (compressive, splittingtensile, and flexural strengths as well as modulus of elasticity), especially at later ages, provided by the glass powder's pozzolanic activity.
Advantages. Before steel and reinforced concrete became common building materials, a building's facade typically supported the load of the whole structure. One major advantage of today's curtain wall is that it can be constructed from much lighter materials like glass, which allows for the filtration of natural light into the building.
When flexural strength is the main consideration, fiber reinforcement of concrete is not a substitute for conventional reinforcement. The greatest advantage of fiber reinforcement of concrete is the improvement in flexural toughness (total energy absorbed in breaking a specimen in flexure).
Basalt fiber is a relative newcomer to fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) and structural composites. It has a similar chemical composition as glass fiber but has better strength characteristics, and unlike most glass fibers is highly resistant to alkaline, acidic and salt attack making it a good candidate for concrete, bridge and shoreline structures.
Disadvantages of Colored Concrete. Colored concrete can add between 10 and 30 percent to the cost of a project with other decorative elements such as stamping and patterns adding significantly more. Concrete is extremely hard and cold, so standing on a concrete floor for long periods of time can cause discomfort.
manufacture concrete containing Sheet glass powder (SGP) with characteristics similar to those of natural sand aggregate concrete provided that the percentage of SGP as fine aggregate is limited to 1020%, respectively. Attempts have been made for a long time to use waste glasses as an aggregate in concrete, but it seems that the concrete with ...
Mar 16, 2016· Reactive Powder Concrete by Prasanth » Fri Sep 20, 2013 7:01 am [justify]RPC was first developed by P. Richard and M. was first produced in the early 1990's by researchers at Bouygues laboratory in France and the world's first RPC structure, the Sherbrooke Bridge in Canada was constructed in July 1997.
Jan 22, 2013· Polishing Powders and Compounds are fine grains of aluminum or tin oxide abrasive powder that are buffed or rubbed on the surface of the stone to create the shine. This process is actually the same as sanding with diamonds except that the powder is a much finer abrasive.
reported waste glass can be used by grinding it into a fine glass powder (GLP) for incorporation into concrete as a pozzalanic material. It under goes beneficial pozzalanic reactions in the concrete and could replace up to 30% cement in some concrete mixes with satisfactory strength development.
