Dont claim that the study has never been conducted, put that studies in the
background and they only give limited information. Varying the particle size of glass
will give the effect of each particle size on the compressive behaviour
Why replace Sand with Waste Glass? Sand is not a fast-growing resource; it is
formed by erosion of rocks. It takes thousands and more years, until a rock by the
force of wind and water are ground to sand. It is the most consumed natural
resource after water, a key component of concrete, and is being extracted at a rate
far greater than its renewal. Worldwide
To address the issue of sand scarcity, this study is exploring the potentials of using
waste glass in concrete. Since glass is made up molten glass,
Issue of Waste Glass Pollution Scarcity of Sand Solution: To address those issues
this study is exploring the potentials of using waste glass in concrete. Recycling of
waste glass as a fine aggregate helps to lessen the amount of pollution caused by
waste glass, also it helps to save a lot of energy and minimize the consumption of
the raw materials used to produce glass especially sand.
The alkalies of concern, primarily sodium and potassium hydroxides, Na(OH) and
K(OH), exist in variable but small amounts, primarily as alkali sulfates in all portland
cements. They form alkali hydroxides as soon as water is added. These alkalies
raise the pH of fresh concrete above 13, maybe even above 14, primarily because
they are very water-soluble.
