This paper aims to assess the mechanical and long-term durability performance of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) containing Granite Powder (GrP) as cement replacement and waste Glass Powder (GP) as quartz sand replacement. The workability and mechanical behaviour of RPC containing various proportions of GrP and GP are assessed for different w/b ratios (0.3, 0.35, 0.4 and 0.45). The water resistance and tightness of RPC are measured by monitoring the electrical resistivity, water absorption, sorptivity and chloride migration over a one year period. Results reveal that substitution of GrP and GP at optimum levels of 15% and 30% respectively enhances the performance of RPC with the achievement of satisfiable workability at a 0.35 w/b ratio. A significant increase in the resistance towards chloride penetration and electrical resistivity was also observed with increasing ages. Thus, glass powder and granite powder can be considered as alternative construction materials providing economical and ecological efficiency.

Across the world, a huge amount of waste materials is deposited from different industrial or construction activities. Out of this massive waste quantity, a petite is recycled and remaining is dumped in vulnerable lands. This paper deals with the potential utilization of solid waste in reactive powder concrete, practically powdered glass originating from waste glass bottles and powdered ceramics tile from waste of construction process. First, the optimum ratio of waste pozzolanic material (ceramics to glass ratio) was obtained by pozzolinic activity test. Then, the optimal waste pozzolanic material was incorporated in reactive powder concrete at several substitution levels. The waste pozzolanic material in 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 %, and 25 % were added in the reactive powder concrete mixes as fractional supplement of silica fume. Strength and water absorption of the modified reactive powder concrete were evaluated. A significant enhancement was observed in mechanical behavior of modified reactive powder concrete containing 15 % waste pozzolanic material. Results directed irrelevant raise in water absorption as increasing the waste replacement material.  


Reactive Powder Concrete is a creating composite material that enables the solid business to advance material utilizes Generate financial advantages and building structures which are solid, strong and delicate to condition. RPC is another ultra-elite cement with extensive variety of capacities. RPC was created in the 1990s by Bouygues' research center in France. RPC speaks to another class of Portland concrete based material with compressive qualities of 120-200 MPa go. By presenting fine steel filaments. It has no coarse materials and contains little steel filaments that give extra strength. RPC incorporate Portland concrete, silica rage, fine sand, super plasticizer, water and steel strands. In this investigation, RPC by utilizing cement substitution of glass powder up to 30%. Likewise mechanical properties, compressive strength and split tensile strength were considered.

Some mechanical behaviors were tested by investigations of compressive strength, and direct tensile, strength of reactive Powder concrete (RPC) containing recycled glass powder (RGP) as a supplementary, cementitious material. This study goals to survey the pozzolanic activity of recycled glass powder (RGP) up to (30%) silica fume replacement and its effect on the properties of recycled reactive powder concrete (RRPC) that made by waste glass (WG) and recycled fine concrete aggregate, which has not been investigated before. These properties contain compressive strength and direct tensile strength. Glass is principally composed of silica so that when waste glass is grind to micro particle size in RPC as a partial replacement of silica fume could be a substantial step to development of sustainable material. In this study, high strength reactive powder concrete (HSRPC) with mean compressive strength of 118.4 MPa at 28 days slightly decreased when 40% recycled fine concrete aggregate were used then the strength evolve afterward when 20% of waste glass powder WGP was utilized. The strength tests outcomes indicated that waste glass powder gave greater strength compared to ordinary reactive powder concrete.
