Analysis of Waste Glass as a Partial Replacement for Coarse and Fine Aggregates
There has been substantial intrusion of non-renewable resources including aggregates in concrete. On the other hand, waste glass accumulates to up to 20 million tons per year in Egypt alone. The main idea of this work is to explore partial replacement for both coarse and fine aggregate with waste glass. To meet this objective, ten mixtures were prepared using various dosages of waste glass as brought from landfill and grind in the lab. Experimental work includes fresh and hardened concrete have been conducted on these mixtures. Specialized tests, namely brightness and reflection, are conducted to explore architectural merits of such concrete incorporating glittery glass. Results reveal moderate to good concrete quality in almost all tests. Tests also pinpoint the architectural merits for using such concrete of glass waste. A simple feasibility study is also provided to examine the economic aspect of using such concrete in concrete industry.
