This section reviews related literature on using waste materials like glass as partial replacements for cement or aggregates in concrete. Several studies found that partially replacing cement with ground waste glass improved compressive strength and produced more environmentally friendly concrete. One study showed improved flexural and compressive strength when replacing 20% of cement with glass powder. The literature also examines using waste glass as an aggregate replacement and reviews its effects on mechanical and fresh concrete properties.

thesis, generalizations or conclusions, methodologies, and other pertinent materials. These

inclusions serve to acquaint the reader with pertinent and comparable information germane to the

present investigation.

The study "Waste glass powder as partial replacement of cement for sustainable concrete

practice" by G.M. Sadiqul Islam et al is producing waste glass powder as a partial replacement

for cement. Silica is the main component of glass. The use of milled (ground) waste glass as a

partial replacement for cement in concrete could be a significant step toward the development of

sustainable (environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and cost-effective) infrastructure

systems. When waste glass is milled into micro-sized particles, it is expected to undergo

pozzolanic reactions with cement hydrates, resulting in the formation of secondary Calcium

Silicate Hydrate (C–S–H). Using the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technique, chemical analysis of

glass and cement samples revealed minor differences in composition between clear and colored

glasses. Flow and compressive strength tests on mortar and concrete were performed by adding

0-25% ground glass and maintaining the same water to binder (cement + glass) ratio for all

replacement levels. The compressive strength test results showed that recycled glass mortar and

concrete performed better than control samples. A 20% substitution of waste glass for cement

was found to be cost-effective and environmentally friendly.


Because of the use of waste glasses, this study is related to ours. We will mill the waste

glasses as well, but we will add CDs to see if it can help increase the compressive strength of the

concrete blocks.

The article "Production of roller-compacted concrete using glass powder: Field study" by

Ahmed Omran et al is a study that presents mechanical and durability aspects of using glass

powder (GP) to replace 20% of cement content in RCC used for interior and exterior slab-on-

ground during construction of Tricentris plant in Lachute-QC/Canada. Mixed-colored glass,

which cannot be recycled, is sent to landfills causing obvious environmental problems. So

valorization of this glass when grounded to same cement fineness can be used as an alternative

supplementary-cementitious material (ASCM) in concrete, especially it demonstrates pozzolanic

behavior. However, the results of GP-RCC showed slight lower 7-day strength compared to

control, increases of 15% in flexural strength and 5% in compressive strength were obtained at

91 days. The resistance to freeze-thaw cycles was also improved. Scanning electron microscopy

(SEM) observations showed that the properties of RCC are directly linked to the effectiveness of

the compaction operation. The addition of GP yields a higher degree of cement hydration and

enables to densify the C-S-H.

The research “Concrete containing waste glass as an environmentally friendly aggregate:

A review on fresh and mechanical characteristics” by Shaker Qaidi et al focuses on the

production of concrete and cement mortar by utilizing waste glass as an Environmentally

Friendly aggregate or as a pozzolanic material. In fact, innovative options for recycling waste
glass (WG) must be developed. One significant option is to use WG for construction materials.

Actually, creative methods of recycling WG must be created. Using WG for building materials is

a big alternative. In addition to reducing the need for landfills in the construction industry,

recycling of WG also considerably reduces carbon footprint and conserves resources. The

researchers conducted the initial study on the use of WG for building materials in 1963. This

study examines the source of WG as well as its physical and chemical features in addition to the

dangers of WG and the necessity to recycle it economically and environmentally.

Additionally, this study aims to review the literature on the use of recycled waste as a

partial or full replacement for aggregates in concrete by focusing on the impact of this waste on

the mechanical and fresh properties of concrete in order to show the potential applications for

recycled waste in concrete and to offer brief, practical advice.

On the other hand, several studies claim that adding waste glass to the mixes decreased

workability. Yet, such a decrease has been linked to angular form, sharp edges, increased glass

particle aspect ratio, and restriction of particle and cement mortar flow. The researcher claims

that 20% glass waste is the ideal amount for achieving good workability.
