Ferolino, Capiz State University Main Campus, Roxas City, August 2014. Milled Waste
Glass as an Alternative Fine Aggregate Component of Concrete.
Research Adviser: Engr. Ma. Adeline Diaz
The study was conducted at the Capiz State University, Main Campus at Fuentes
Drive Roxas City, E.D. Denosta Construction Supply at Brgy. Lawaan, Roxas City and at
Department of Public Works and Highways, Km. 1 Roxas City from August 2014
January 2015.
Generally, this study was conducted to use milled waste glass as an alternative fine
aggregate component of concrete. Specifically, it aimed to (1) determine the compressive
strength of the experimental concrete with 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of curing with
proportions of 25%, 50%, and 75%in the aggregate replacement; and (2) determine which
proportion has the greatest strength and compare it with the strength of standard concrete.
Statistically, value of 1.343, 0.473, 0.641, 0.887, respectively, was lesser than the
tabular value of 2.132 at 5 percent level of significance, therefore the null hypothesis is
accepted. It was found out that there was no significant difference between the
compressive strength of the standard and experimental blocks at 7, 14, 21 and 28 day
curing periods.
It was also found out that the test proportions are 1:2:4, 1:1.5:0.5:4, 1:1:1:4 and
1:0.5:1.5:4 for standard mixture, treatment A, B, and C respectively. Proportion of
treatment C was the best proportion.
