Harmful Effects

Glass is a special type of materials which is widely used in various forms and colors for different usages. Colored bottles comprise a large part of waste glass. To reduce the destructive effects of waste glass on the environment, it might be recycled. However, some indecomposable waste materials are buried. This will have harmful effects on the environment. A practical solution for reducing non-recyclable waste colored glass is using them as replacements for materials in other industries such as concrete industry. The effect of replacing aggregate with waste glass particle on the compressive strength and weight of concrete is investigated in this study. To achieve the goal, totally 27 cubic specimens were created; 6 specimens were made of concrete, while waste glass particle was added to the mix of other specimens. To prevent Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR), Microsilica was added to the mix of specimens containing glass. Generally, Results indicated that replacing aggregate with glass particle more than 30% lead to increment in compressive strength of concrete. The weight of concrete remains almost the same in all of the specimens. Briefly, based on the results it could be concluded that the optimum percentage for replacing aggregate with glass particle is 50%.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

The compressive strength of concrete is the most basic and considerable material property while reinforced concrete structures are designed. It has become a problem to use this value, however, because the control specimen sizes and shapes from country to country may be dissimilar. The study presents the results of an experiment that examined the effect of specimen size on the different classes of compressive strengths of concrete. The study included casting specimens, cubes, and six different classes of the concrete mixture. Compression tests were conducted at the age of 3, 7, and 28 days on 150 mm & 100 mm cube samples. The fresh properties of concrete were measured by slump and unit weights tests. Moreover, the specimen size of concrete has an important role both on the compressive strength and capacity of a curing cabinet. Correlations between compressive strengths and sizes of specimens are compatible for classes of structural concretes. Therefore, it can be used in curing cabinet varying sizes of concretes like 150 mm & 100 mm cube samples. Although almost 220 concrete specimens sized of 150 mm cube can be poured in curing tank, roughly 585 concrete specimens can be poured with using 100 mm cube concrete specimens. The most convenient size resulted from this study is suggested as 100 mm sized cubic specimen that it promote to change the law for concrete both curing and compressive strength test.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

The principle of using expansive agents has been recommended to manufacture shrinkage compensating concrete provided that an adequate wet curing is carried out. On the other hand, shrinkage-reducing admixture (SRA) in the concrete mixes, has been more recently suggested to reduce the risk of cracking in concrete structures caused by drying shrinkage. This paper is devoted to the study of the influence of complex modifier in the form of superplasticizer, shrinkage reducing admixture and expansive agent CaO- MgO-based on the fresh properties, hardening processand restrained shrinkage of Self-Compacting-Shrinkage-Compensating Concretes. The combined addition of shrinkage-reducing admixture with expansive agent has been found to be successful in producing shrinkage-compensating concrete. It should be noted also that the shrinkage reducing admixture slightly improve the workabilityof the fresh concrete mixtures but, it slightly reduces the early compressive strength of concrete.

Waste glass is a bulk solid waste, and its utilization is of great consequence for environmental protection; the application of waste glass to magnesium phosphate cement can also play a prominent role in its recycling. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of glass powder (GP) on the mechanical and working properties of magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC). Moreover, a 40mm × 40mm × 40mm mold was used in this experiment, the workability, setting time, strength, hydration heat release, porosity, and microstructure of the specimens were evaluated. The results indicated that the addition of glass powder prolonged the setting time of MKPC, reduced the workability of the matrix, and effectively lowered the hydration heat of the MKPC. Compared to an M/P ratio (MgO/KH2PO4 mass ratio) of 1:1, the workability of the MKPC with M/P ratios of 2:1 and 3:1 was reduced by 1% and 2.1%, respectively, and the peak hydration temperatures were reduced by 0.5% and 14.6%, respectively. The compressive strength of MKPC increased with an increase in the glass powder content at the M/P ratio of 1:1, and the addition of glass powder reduced the porosity of the matrix, effectively increased the yield of struvite-K, and affected the morphology of the hydration products. With an increase in the M/P ratio, the struvite-K content decreased, many tiny pores were more prevalent on the surface of the matrix, and the bonding integrity between the MKPC was weakened, thereby reducing the compressive strength of the matrix. At less than 40 wt.% glass powder content, the performance of MKPC improved at an M/P ratio of 1:1. In general, the addition of glass powders improved the mechanical properties of MKPC and reduced the heat of hydration.

The Impact

Recycling of waste plastics is an essential phase towards cleaner production and circular economy. Plastics in different forms, which are non-biodegradable polymers, have become an indispensable ingredient of human life. The rapid growth of the world population has led to increased demand for commodity plastics such as food packaging. Therefore, to avert environment pollution with plastic wastes, sufficient management to recycle this waste is vital. In this study, experimental investigations and statistical analysis were conducted to assess the feasibility of polypropylene type of waste plastic food tray (WPFT) as fibrous materials on the mechanical and impact resistance of concrete composites. The WPFT fibres with a length of 20 mm were used at dosages of 0–1% in two groups of concrete with 100% ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and 30% palm oil fuel ash (POFA) as partial cement replacement. The results revealed that WPFT fibres had an adverse effect on the workability and compressive strength of concrete mixes. Despite a slight reduction in compressive strength of concrete mixtures, tensile and flexural strengths significantly enhanced up to 25% with the addition of WPFT fibres. The impact resistance and energy absorption values of concrete specimens reinforced with 1% WPFT fibres were found to be about 7.5 times higher than those of plain concrete mix. The utilisation of waste plastic food trays in the production of concrete makes it low-cost and aids in decreasing waste discarding harms. The development of new construction materials using WPFT is significant to the environment and construction industry.
