My CEE 2105 project topic is a portion of my thesis. I will be
studying
the feasibility of using glass as a replecement for sand and cement
in
concrete. I will be comparing green, amber, clear, and a color
mixture of
glass. The sand will be replaced by a mixture of glass that passes
the
1/4" sieve and remains on the #100 sieve. The cement will be
replaced
with two different sizes. The first is glass passing the #100
sieve and
remaining on the #200 sieve. The second is glass passing the
#200 sieve.
Each size will be tested at three replacement percentages: 5%, 7.5%,
and
10%. The concrete test cylinders (6" long and 3" diameter) will
be tested
for compression strength after 3, 7, 21, 28, 56, 90, and 120 days and
will
be compared to a control mixture that does not contain any glass.
A total
of 370 test cylinders will need to be made.
