Abstract

With industry progress and living standards, an increasing quantity of waste glass (WG) is being produced. WG causes extreme environmental difficulties owing to the WG Rivers' inconsistency. This study aimed to analyze the impact usage of waste glass powder (WGP) as a cement substitute and its mixing method on concrete characteristics. Five percentages of WGP were used: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. Two mixing techniques were used. The first technique is the usual mixing technique, in which WGP is added to the cement and aggregates. The second technique is a new mixing process, in which WGP is merged and liquefied in water for five hours before addition to cement and aggregates. The concrete characteristics were examined for both the hardened and fresh phases. A slump developed as the WGP substitution ratio increased as the water absorption ratio and density decreased as the WGP substitution ratio increased. The splitting tensile and compressive strengths of the concrete prepared using the usual mixing technique reduced as the WGP ratio increased at an early stage (7 and 28 days). Later for three months, the maximum compressive strength was obtained at 5% glass powder (GP). The newly suggested mixing technique provided lower strength (compressive and tensile) than the conventional method. For 5% GP mix, using the new mixing technique, the compressive strength decreased by approximately 9%, 5.5%, and 6.3% compared to the usual mixing method at 7, 28, and 90 days, respectively, as at 20% WGP mix, the decreases were 2.8%, 5.2%, and 6.1%.
