A Partial Replacement of Cement Concrete with ESP & Glass Powder: An Overview
Abstract
Concrete is a composite material composed of coarse aggregate bonded together with fluid cement that hardens over time, and in construction, it is used above all. Concrete is far supplementary manufactured all over the human race than any other substance. It is extremely adaptable, and is used in more or less all major construction projects. Concrete involves huge amount of consumption of cement depending on the grade of concrete. Traditional concrete is made from a mixture of cement, sand, gravel and water. Cement is an environmentally hazardous material. Most of CO2 in concrete is from the cement manufacturing process. A typical cubic meter of concrete contains about 10% cement by weight. It is third producer of CO2 emission in the global world. Cement production is increasing approximately 5% a year, making it one of the most environmental destructive materials. Aggregate materials like sand and stone that are mixed with cement are mined from quarries, further taxing our natural resources. In this research paper, it is described that how consumed waste glass powder and egg shell ash powder is been used as partial replacement for cement as it can’t be dissolved by natural or normal recycling ways
