Abstract

The present study addresses green environment by utilising glass powder (GP) as a partial cement substitute to obtain greener concrete. With this context, the experiment evaluated the performance of concrete beams containing 30% GP (combined effect of GP having two different fineness in equal proportions) and normal concrete beams with longitudinal reinforcement ratios of 1.92% and 2.88%, while transverse reinforcement was kept as constant for all specimens. The beams were singly reinforced ones with a depth-to-width ratio of 1.5. Based on the linear elastic analysis, the study focused on assessing the flexural properties, such as load-deflection behaviour, stiffness parameters, flexural toughness, displacement ductility, crack pattern, concrete strain profile and moment-curvature relationship. The GP concrete beams demonstrated higher ultimate strengths and deflection values than their counterparts. The higher deflection values of GP beams led to an improved flexural toughness. A reduction in service stiffness values of 2.1% and 9.8% for GP under-reinforced beams and 28.9% and 34.8% for GP over-reinforced beams are observed. A marginal decrease in ultimate displacement ductility of 2% and 9% is observed for under-reinforced GP beams than the companion control beams, while over-reinforced GP beams show a more significant reduction of 28% and 34%. The high load-carrying capacity of GP beams is confirmed by the dense packing of GP concrete through SEM micrographs. Hence, it can be inferred that partial substitution of hybrid GP as a binder is viable and leads to a greener production of structural concrete.
