Simulation Models for Flexural and Compressive Strength of Concrete Using Waste Glass as Partial Replacement.

C. Ukpaka, Kpalap Elgior M

Abstract


The research present the usefulness of waste glass in the production of grade 20 concrete using partial replacement levels of 0%, 20%, 40% and 60%, respectively, for coarse glass and fine glass to coarse aggregate and fine sand aggregate. The results obtained indicate that, for the purpose of construction works, 20% replacement should be adopted either for coarse glass or fine glass replacement. Simulation models were established to predict flexural and compressive strengths of concrete.

Keywords: compressive strength, flexural strength, simulation, white glass
