Abstract

As there is a demand in construction industry for conventional materials there is an urgent need to find an alternative construction material. This investigation is done to identify the new construction materials and their mechanical behaviors in concrete. The optimum percentage of replacement also identified. The alternative coarse aggregates are ceramic waste, kadappa stones, broken glass, crumb rubber, plastic, broken tiles, etc. Numerous environmental problems and natural disasters are occurred because of the high extraction of natural resources. Due to that, researchers were focused on recycled materials for future development, while protecting the environment. Low cost, availability and simple process to recycle, glass concrete applications could be significantly applied in the construction industry.
