Abstract :

This experimental study aimed to arrive at a concrete mixture with recycled bottles as an alternative fine aggregates for mass housing projects that will meet and contribute to the industry in saving the environment, to encourage the government to find solutions regarding the disposal to landfills of waste materials and provide new knowledge to the contractors and developers on how to improve the construction industry methods and services by using recycled bottles, and to sustain good concrete performance and meet recycling goals. A conventional concrete product was compared to concrete with recycled bottles of the same proportions. Observations from the tests performed were conducted in the laboratory of KCT Engineering College Gulbarga. In the normal concrete compressive strength study is made and in another concrete in the normal concrete fine aggregates are totally replaced by crushed waster glass products. Where precise data were gathered and completely attained From the concrete Grade of M20 concrete cubes were cast of size 15x15x15 cms size, and they are cured for 3,7,14, and 28 days in the concrete technological laboratory tank of KCT Engineering College Gulbarga.
