Abstract

Preservation of environment and conservation of natural resources is the essence of any development. Also the present R and D continuously deal with technological and industrial development on waste management. In order to address environmental effects associated with cement manufacturing, it is crucial to advance alternative binders to compose concrete. Consequently extensive delving is continuing, on substitution of cement by differing waste materials and industrial offshoot. As partial replacement of cement attempts on fly ash, waste glass, rice husk etc. have already been accomplished in concrete industries. If little waste material found convenient and economical for concrete manufacturing, a major gain will be achieved in disposal of waste management and depression in construction cost. The work audits the feasibility of fly ash, glass powder as partial substitute of cement respectively. The initial stage proceeds with replacing 25% cement content by variant proportions of fly ash (FA) and glass powder (GP). After then it is analyzed for flexural and compressive strength, at 7, 14 & 28 days and correlated with traditional concrete. The adequate results were attained with the combination of cement 75% and fly ash 25% in ratio, w.r.t properties tested.
