Effect of Glass Powder & Pond Ash on the Strength Properties of Concrete

Abstract

India is the most rapidly growing country and due to rapid growth of industrialization the demand of concrete is increasing simultaneously. Now days there are various researches are made based on the finding out the suitable alternative of concrete ingredients such as cement is replaced by fly ash, stone dust, ground granulated blast-furnace slag etc. and sand is replaced by stone dust, fly ash etc. Since in this study an attempt is made to find out the strength properties; compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete by partial replacement of both cement & sand in which cement is replaced by glass powder as a pozzolana and sand by pond ash in concrete. The cement & sang content were replaced by glass powder & pond ash respectively  at the percentage of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and it is found that, at 10% addition of glass powder and 10% addition of pond as a replacement of cement and sand respectively shows higher compressive as well as flexural strength.
