An Innovative Fire-Resistant Lightweight Concrete Infill Wall Reinforced with Waste Glass
In this paper, an innovative infill wall is proposed and examined experimentally and parametrically. The proposed wall has an innovative design and is constructed with lightweight concrete strengthened by waste glass. The proposed wall not only demonstrates robust performance against out-of-plane loading, but also exhibits exceptional behavior under elevated temperatures. Additionally, the necessary equations used to predict the wall’s behavior are also presented. The results reveal that glass powders affect weight loss. During the initial temperature application, ranging up to 600 °C, specimens with 0% and 8% glass powder experienced maximum and minimum weight loss, respectively. At 200 °C, glass powder concentrations below 4% caused a reduction in compressive strength, , while concentrations between 4% and 8% led to an increase in . Consequently, the optimal glass powder volume was determined to be 6% for specimens under varying temperature conditions. The out-of-plane loading tests indicated that although the wall was exposed to heat up to 800 °C, the resistance did not decrease significantly. Given its role as a non-load-bearing wall without the application of gravity, this innovative structure is anticipated to perform admirably in fire scenarios during seismic events.
