Thermophysical Properties of Cement Mortar Containing Waste Glass Powder

Polymer-Cement Composites Containing Waste Perlite Powder

Polymer-cement composites (PCCs) are materials in which the polymer and mineral binder create an interpenetrating network and co-operate, significantly improving the performance of the material. On the other hand, the need for the utilization of waste materials is a demand of sustainable construction. Various mineral powders, such as fly ash or blast-furnace slag, are successfully used for the ...

Utilization of waste glass as sand replacement in cement mortar

In this study, alkali silica reaction (ASR) expansion and strength characteristics of mortar containing waste glasses are analyzed in terms of waste glass content and glass color. Three different colors of waste glasses (white, green and brown) are replaced with sand at ratios of 10%, 30% and 100% by weight. The mixtures used in this study did not show a considerable ASR expansion. All batches ...

Mechanical Properties of Polymer Mortar Containing Pet Waste Aggregates

Non-biodegradable plastic aggregates made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste from beverage containers are used as partial replacement of natural aggregates in mortar. Various weight fractions of sand 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% are replaced by the same weight of plastic. This paper investigates the mechanical properties of the obtained composites. The main results of this study show the feasibi...

Characterization of Mechanical and Bactericidal Properties of Cement Mortars Containing Waste Glass Aggregate and Nanomaterials

The recycling of waste glass is a major problem for municipalities worldwide. The problem concerns especially colored waste glass which, due to its low recycling rate as result of high level of impurity, has mostly been dumped into landfills. In recent years, a new use was found for it: instead of creating waste, it can be recycled as an additive in building materials. The aim of the study was ...
