“…However he expressed that in terms of strength, glass could be a suitable candidate for addition in SCC. Federico and Chidiac (2009) considered the effect of waste glass as cement replacement in conventional concrete and reported that when cement replaced with waste glass between 10 and 20 % the highest strength achieved. Our study corroborates their consequence in which, maximum strength happened in 5 % GWG substitute as cementitious material, although inclusion of 20 % of GWG gives similar compressive strength as the plain cementitious composite.…”

The successful completion of the present research would be achieved using ground waste glass (GWG) microparticles in self-consolidating concrete (SCC). Here, the influences of GWG microparticles as cementing material on mechanical and durability response properties of SCC are investigated. The aim of this study is to investigate the hardened mechanical properties, percentage of water absorption, free drying shrinkage, unit weight and Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) of binary blended concrete with partial replacement of cement by 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 wt% of GWG microparticles. Besides, slump flow, V-funnel, L-box, J-ring, GTM screen stability, visual stability index (VSI), setting time and air content tests were also performed as workability of fresh concrete indicators. The results show that the workability of fresh concrete was increased by increasing the content of GWG microparticles. The results showed that using GWG microparticles up to maximum replacement of 15 % produces concrete with improved hardened strengths. From the results, when the amount of GWG increased there was a gradual decrease in ASR expansion. Results showed that it is possible to successfully produce SCC with GWG as cementing material in terms of workability, durability and hardened properties.

“…Although significant effort has been made by the upstream European container glass industry, especially through cullet recycling whose rate has increased from 43% in 1990 to 71% in 2013 [31], further improvements are required to reduce its global environmental footprint, enhancing not only cullet use but also improving its quality. Indeed, broken and mixed glasses of different colours are economically and technologically difficult to reuse for the fabrication of new glass products, because these materials can cause a variation in the chemical composition of recycled glass, thus affecting the properties of new glass produced [32][33][34].…”

Abstract:Glass manufacturing is a high-volume process, during which large substance quantities are transformed into commercial products, and significant amounts of non-renewable resources and energy (i.e., thermal fuels and electrical power) are consumed. The main purpose of this study is to give a critical explanation of the performance of the Italian container glass industry from the perspective of cullet being recycled, to outline the opportunities for transition towards circular business models that stimulate innovation in new sectors based on reverse-cycle activities for recycling. In 2015, disparate performances have been achieved as regards the container glass recycling rate in northern, central, and southern Italy, accounting for around 73%, 64%, and 55%, respectively. In fact, only northern Italy is in line with European targets, as by 2025 it will only need to increase its current performance by two percentage points, unlike central and southern Italy that will have to increase performance by, respectively, 11% and 20%. This shows a need to improve the efficiency of municipal waste collection systems in central and southern Italy, where undifferentiated waste still holds appreciable amounts of glass. Consequently, we propose several improvement channels, from the revision of waste legislation to the re-engineering of waste management supply chains.

“…Pattengill and shutt (1973) were the first who used the grounded powdered glass as pozzolanic material to replace the cement partially (Pattengil & Shutt, 1973).Various research works have tackled the topic of incorporating glass waste in concrete mixtures to establish a ground for its usage in concrete industry (Kim et al, 2014;Bazant & Mayer, 1998;Saikia & de Brito, 2014;Madandoust & Ghavidel, 2013;Tuan, Hwang, Lin, Chen, & Young, 2013;Saribiyik, Piskin,& Saribiyik, 2013;Ling, Poon, & Wong, 2013;Soroushian, 2012;Ismail & Al-Hashmi, 2009;Federico & Chidiac, 2009;Taha & Nounu, 2008;Shi & Zheng, 2007;Topcu & Canbaz, 2004;Metwally, 2007;Schmidt & Saia, 1963;Carpenter & Cramer, 1999;American Psychological Association, 1972). Expansive reactions between amorphous silica (from glass) and alkalis from cement have been noticed to cause disintegration of concrete structures.…”

Glass waste, which is dumped around the world in huge amounts, can be used as a partial replacement of mineral aggregate in concrete industry. This would not only contribute to reducing pollution extent but also enhancing physical properties and durability of concrete. This article reports the mechanical performance of concrete with different replacement percentages of crushed glass waste of cement or fine aggregates before and after being subjected to standard cycles of freezing and thawing. Mechanical performance was evaluated in terms of compressive and flexural strengths. Furthermore, internal damage extent was evaluated using ultrasonic pulse velocity and dynamic modulus of elasticity. The results (average of six specimens for each test) revealed the feasibility of incorporating glass waste in concrete mixtures for the purpose of improving strength and durability; especially in environments where concrete is being exposed to an effective freezing and thawing cycles.
