“…Adetayo, et al (2021) conducted field tests with two test pits (Pits A and B) at different depths (1.5 m and 1.25 m, respectively) to evaluate the effect of WG and Cow Bone Ash and found that the MDD of the treated soil in Pit A was increased by 8.8% (from 1.7 to 1.85 g/cm3) by adding 4% WG and Cow Bone Ash. However, a further increase in the WG and Cow Bone Ash content (e.g., 8%) in the soil reduced the MDD from 1.85 to 1.76 g/cm3 (the same result obtained by [Kumar, et al, 2020]). The increase in MDD in some studies after an increase in the percentage of WG in clay soils may be attributed to an increase in the voids within the soil structure, which reduces the MDD of the WG-soil mixture (Salpadoru Tholkamudalige, et al, 2022).…”

Soils are the most commonly used construction material in engineering projects. Fine-grained soils especially clayey soil may expand and lose strength when wet and shrink when dry, resulting in a significant volume change. Construction on weak soils has created challenges for various civil engineering projects worldwide, including roadways, embankments, and foundations. As a result, improving weak soil is vital, particularly for highway construction. The properties of this type of soil can be improved by waste-recycled materials such as waste glass (WG). The WG must be crushed and ground to a fine powder first and then can be mixed in various proportions with the soil. The primary objective of this study is to review the effect of WG on geotechnical properties of fine-grained soils treated by WG. To demonstrate the effects, the treated fine-grained soils at varying percentages of WG are compared with untreated soils. Physical properties (e.g., Atterberg limits, swelling, and maximum dry density), mechanical properties (e.g., California bearing ratio, and unconfined compressive strength) are evaluated. The test results from the literature show that adding a certain percentage of WG leads to a substantial effect on the properties of fine-grained soils; hence, using WG could reduce the required thickness of subbases in the construction of driveways and roads.

“…There is a known method to utilize crushed waste glass mixed with construction and CDW as a covering/replacing layer to improve the bearing pressure settlement of a weak sand bed, resulting in a three-fold gain in load-bearing capacity in comparison with the same thickness of sandy soil layers [104]. Stabilization of black cotton soil and loam soil with varying percentages of RAP and crushed waste glass indicated an increase in strength and CBR values [105]. Bottle glass along with GGBFS and fly ash were used to stabilize swamp soils to increase poor soil capacity with a CBR value of 1%, and a significant improvement was observed [106].…”

Waste glass is an endless issue for the majority of the countries in the world with a linear economy of usage of materials. Demolition waste is counted as part of total construction and demolition waste (CDW). Even today, there are some statistical problems with the quantification of demolition waste and dividing it from total CDW, since most countries do not provide such a division of waste types. The current review shows possible ways of utilizing waste glass in some useful products in the construction industry. It is elaborated using PRISMA@ methodology with bibliometric and qualitative methods to provide a systematical overview of the publications in the period from 2000 to 2023. The bibliometric search was handled with the application RStudio© using sources in the biggest database, Scopus. Most of the published research items are mainly focused on using waste glass in concrete applications. However, there are seven possible areas of waste glass application in the construction industry: concrete products, gypsum–cement composites, asphalt or concrete pavement, geopolymer mortars, foamed glass ceramics, glass ceramics, and soil foundation strengthening/stabilization. In its turn, the circular economy should be applied since it provides a prolonged turnaround of materials throughout their life cycle.

“…One of the significant techniques for enhancing soil properties is the stabilization process [12]. Soil stabilization refers to any method used to alter the qualities of natural soil to serve an engineering objective [13], whether it be mechanical, chemical [14]- [16], physical, biological, or a combination of these [16], [17]. The most important factors determining the stabilization method for problematic soils in construction projects are the type of soil foundation, the required time to complete the project, the stabilization cost relative to the project cost, and the full replacement cost of the problematic soils [18].…”
