ABSTRACT
The primary objective of this investigation was to ascertain the optimum substitution ratio of sand with granulated glass within concrete blends. This entailed the execution of an array of assessments at varying levels of sand replacement with granulated glass to pinpoint the proportion that optimally balances concrete characteristics and performance. Concrete Grade 15 with the mix proportion 1:2:4 and water cement ratio 0.5 was adopted. Granulated glass was used as a partial replacement for coarse aggregate (0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30% for cube. The Concretes Cubes (100mm x 100mm x100mm) for 7, 21 and 28 days for the Cubes were casted. To fulfill this aim, an assortment of tests, including Sieve Analysis, Compressive Strength examinations, Slump Testing, Specific Gravity evaluations, and Bulk Density measurements, were undertaken. The raw materials for this study were procured from a local marketplace situated in Oluku, Benin City. Glass bottles were systematically gathered, subjected to a cleansing process, dried meticulously, and subsequently subjected to crushing, yielding granulated glass.
