Abstract

The Role of Cement Industry in India is significant in the economic development of the country. The cement industry in India is one of the oldest sectors in India. The industry is driven by the immense growth in the housing sector, the infrastructure development, and construction of transportation systems. Indian Cement Industry is the second largest cement producer in the world after China with a total capacity of 151.2 Million Tonnes (MT). The government of India has been giving an immense boost to various infrastructure projects, housing facilities and road networks, the cement industry in India is currently growing at an enviable pace. In the coming years, more growth in the Indian cement industry is expected to come. Efforts are being done to develop some alternative material for cement production using the waste material. The waste glass powder is one such alternative. As glass is nonbiodegradable so it will also help in solving glass related environmental problems. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of using waste glass powder in cement. Laboratory work was conducted to determine the performance of control sample and cement with used waste glass powder. The performance of these types of cement was determined by the Consistency test, Soundness test, Setting time test and Compressive strength test. The Consistency test of cement is determined using Vicat apparatus. Meanwhile, compressive strength test is done to determine the strength of cement. For each type of cement sample, a total of six 70.6mm x 70.6mm x 70.6mm cubes were cast. The cubes were tested at the ages of 7 and 28 days to study the development of compressive strength. The results indicate that the cement with using waste glass powder was able to increase the compressive strength.
