Investigating the Suitability of Waste Glass as a Supplementary Binder and Aggregate for Cement and Concrete

Multiple studies propose the incorporation of waste glass into concrete as a sustainable solution covering many aspects, including preserving natural resources, utilizing materials and reducing cost. In present study, suitability different types flat from local industry supplementary binder or aggregate was examined. Different protocols were followed based on European American Standards. The chemical composition, density, mineralogy salts content samples tested. For use binder, strength activity pozzolanicity indexes measured according to EN 450-1 ASTM C593, respectively. aggregates, granulometry flakiness shape determined. Alkali-silica reaction, freeze-thaw magnesium sulfate tests for aggregates also performed. It can be concluded that has medium pozzolanic behavior used cementitious material. Nonetheless, well purity, play an important role in mixture.
