Abstract
Abstract— Concrete is a widely used construction material. However, the production of Portland cement releases
significant amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide), a greenhouse gas, One ton of Portland cement clinker production releases
approximately one ton of CO2 and other gases, Environmental issues are playing essential role in the substantial development
of concrete industry. Today many researches are ongoing for the replacement of Portland cement, using many substitutes like
Metakaolin, Fly ash and GGBS. Along with these materials used as substitutes for cement, glass powder is used as a substitute
for fine aggregate. Glass is a unique inert material that could be recycled many times without changing its chemical
properties. Using glass in concrete is an interesting possibility for economy on wastage disposals. The inclusion of
Metakaolin in glass concrete improves the workability and durability properties of concrete. Sheet glass aggregate used in
concrete making leads to green environment. Using GP in concrete is an interesting possibility for economy on waste
disposal sites and conservation of environment. This project examines the possibility of using GP as fine aggregate
replacement in concrete. Natural sand was partially replaced (0%-40%) with GP and cement was partially replaced (0%-
30%) with Metakaolin in conventional concrete. Tensile strength and Flexural strength were compared for 28 days,
Compressive strength for 7, 28 & 56 days were compared.
Keywords- Concrete, Glass Powder, Metakaolin, Strength. (key words)
