Thermal Conductivity and Microstructure of Concrete Using Recycle Glass as a Fine Aggregate Replacement
نویسنده
چکیده
The prime aim of this study was to investigate the thermal conductivity of concrete using crushed recycled glass as a fine aggregate. Influencing factors on thermal conductivity of concrete are investigated using The Unitherm Model 6000 Guarded Hot Plate Thermal Conductivity Instrument. A total of 36 concrete mixes were produced with different water cement ratios (0.4 and 0.5). Recycled glass was used to replace fine aggregate in proportions of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. The outcome of the experimental results suggest that water cement ratio, moisture condition and percentage of crushed recycled glass of specimen revealed as affecting factors on the conductivity of concrete.

متن کاملRecycled glass as a partial replacement for fine aggregate in structural concrete – Effects on compressive strength
Waste management is becoming a major issue for communities worldwide. Glass, being nonbiodegradable, is not suitable for addition to landfill, and as such recycling opportunities need to be investigated. Due to the high material consumption of the construction industry, the utilisation of waste glass as a partial replacement for fine aggregate in structural concrete is particularly attractive. ...
