The requirement for infrastructure is growing as a result of the world's population growth, which fuels everyday construction activity. In comparison to non-reinforced concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete has a higher tensile strength, which increases its durability. Recycled glass is added to concrete to increase its stress resistance and lessen the chance of cracking. Moreover, it minimizes damage by strengthening the concrete's resistance to extreme weather, like freezing and thawing. It can also be used to lower the water content of the concrete, improving its early strength, and it successfully keeps the concrete workable for longer periods of time. The project is to examine the effects of adding recycled glass as reinforcement to concrete and to assess the impact of ammonium nitrate on the material, with an emphasis on the mechanical characteristics that follow. Tests evaluating compressive and tensile strengths will be conducted on a range of concrete samples containing varying proportions of waste glass. The study's findings will provide insightful information about how waste glass may be used as an affordable and environmentally beneficial substitute for conventional reinforcing materials. The results of this study may have a big impact on environmental sustainability and the building sector. Its goal is to increase building sustainability. Additionally, it looks into how ammonium nitrate affects the strength and durability of concrete. The study assesses the impact of these alterations on the performance of concrete, emphasizing the enhancement of environmental results and material efficiency. The findings shed light on the possible advantages and restrictions of these substitute materials in concrete applications.
