The present study involved assessing the replacement of fine aggregate in the mortar with sustainable local materials like clay bricks and glass included 168 specimens (cubes and prisms). Seven mixtures were cast for this work, one control mix (R1) with 100% natural sand whereas mixes from R2 to R5 have 10% and 20% replacing natural sand with waste clay bricks and waste glass separately and respectively. Mix R6 was included 20% replacing sand with combination waste materials (10% waste clay bricks with 10% waste glass). Mix R7 has involved the same percent of replacing the previous mix R6 but with adding Polypropylene fibers 1% by volume. The samples have put in an electrical oven for one hour at 200, 400, and 600 ᵒC then cooled to room temperature to be tested and compared with samples at normal temperature 24 ᵒC. Different mechanical tests were adopted involved flow tests, density, weight loss, compressive strength, flexural strength, and water absorption. The results at different temperatures were discussed where many findings were specified. The flexural strength at 400 ᵒC was showed improving by 56% for 20% waste clay brick and 69% with 10% waste glass, as well all combination mixes illustrated higher strength than the control. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091729 Full Text: PDF

A responsible approach towards sustainable development requires the use of environmentally friendly, low-carbon, and energy-intensive materials. One positive way is to use glass waste as a replacement for fine natural aggregate. For this purpose, the effects of adding glass cullet to the mechanical properties of mortar were carried out. The glass aggregate made from recycled post-consumer waste glass (food, medicine, and cosmetics packaging, including mostly bottles), were used. This experimental work included four different contents of fine glass cullet (5, 10, 15, and 20 wt.% of fine aggregate). The compressive, flexural, and split tensile strengths were evaluated. Moreover, the modulus of elasticity and Poisson coefficient were determined. The addition of glass sand aggregate increases the mechanical properties of mortar. When comparing the strength, the obtained improvement in split tensile strength was the least affected. The obtained effect for the increased analysed properties of the glass sand aggregate content has been rarely reported. Moreover, it was determined that by increasing the recycled glass sand aggregate content, the density of mortar decreased. In addition, the relationships between the properties for mortar containing glass sand aggregate were observed.

Increasing human awareness of the importance of protecting the environment and conserving natural resources requires concrete innovation as an environmentally friendly and sustainable material. Accumulated of solid waste begins to be processed and reused, one of which is as a constituent of concrete. Among the various types of solid waste, glass waste is considered as an alternative that can be used as a substitute for fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate (split stone) and cement. This study investigated the use of mix coloured glass waste consisting of clear, green, and brown as partial substitution of sand in concrete. Although the glass colors were mixed, the proportion of each color had been determined in this study, namely 25%, 25%, and 50%. The purpose of determining these proportions is to find out which type of color glass has the most effect on concrete mix. The target characteristic strength of 25 MPa was produced by replacing sand with 20% of mix coloured waste glass. Three combinations of concrete mixes were prepared for this study. Compression tests were conducted at 7, 14, and 28 days. Workability of fresh concrete, density, compressive strength, and failure mode were investigated in this study. Results showed that the use of waste glass was able to increase the workability of fresh concrete. K1, K 2, and K3 obtained slump values which were 4%, 6,7%, and 1,3% higher than normal concrete. Normal concrete and all combinations exhibited similar density values. Only normal concrete achieved the characteristic strength of 25,7 MPa at 28 days. Meanwhile K1, K2, and K3 achieved strengths of 22,4 MPa, 22,1 MPa, and 24,7 MPa, respectively. It was evident that as workability values increased, the compressive strengths were noticed to reduce.

Abstract This study includes the effect of using different dosages of integral waterproof Admixture and silica fume on some mechanical properties of concrete. Concrete improved by using different ratios of integral water proof admixture(IWP admixture) to increase strength and durability, this admixture used as percentages from cement weight in each mix ranged from 0.0% to 2% ( 0.0, 1.0%, 1.2%,1.4%,1.6%,1.8%, and 2%), compressive strength test done for cubes with (10*10*10) cm for each mix. The flexural strength test was done by (10*10*40) cm beams and tested after 28 days of curing. comparison study was made between silica fume mixes properties and mixes without silica fume. Adding IWP admixture leads to increase mechanical properties of ordinary concrete, the reference mix shows compressive strength equal to 26.38 MPa, while mixes with 2% IWP gives 38.8 MPa in this study. The study also includes the effect of using 2 main dosages of silica fume to the mixes that contain IWP, the new concrete with two admixtures show better values of compressive, tensile and flexural strength comparing with mixes with only IWP, the compressive strength increased from 38.8 MPa for ordinary IWP mixes to 52.3 MPa for 10% silica fume concrete mixes, and also the flexural strength increased from 4.8 MPa for mixes with only IWP to 7.3 MPa for mixes modified with 10 % silica fume. Study include also using waste glass as fine aggregate in mixes contain IWP and 10% silica fume and that show more increment in mechanical properties also.

In this study, recycled glass is used to replace the natural fine aggregate in different mix proportions. The control samples are Grade 30 ordinary Portland cement concrete (OPCC) containing 100% natural sand and coarse aggregate. The recycled glass concretes contain 70% natural fine aggregate + 30% size 300 micron crushed glass (Sample 2), and 70% fine aggregate + 15% size 300 micron crushed glass + 15% size greater than 300 micron crushed glass (Sample 3).The recorded strength of the control, Sample 2 and 3 at 90 days are 47, 61 and 55 MPa. Although the compressive strength for the concrete samples with recycled glass are higher than the control samples, the flexural test results show that, concrete with recycled glass has less ability to be fully functioning as a reinforced concrete by exhibiting their flexural strength at 91 % and 84% of the theoretical flexural strength whereas for the control specimen, its flexural strength is 10% higher than the theoretical value. Nonetheless, the toughness index of recycled glass concrete with 30% replacement of fine sand with recycled glass powder is at par with the control samples, which shows the ductile behavior of the recycled glass concrete.


Electrical and electronic waste (E-waste) has become a great matter of concern all around the world. Due to the fast growth in kinescope technology, Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) are being replaced by lighter and thinner panels with flat displays, namely – Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) and Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs). The environmental hazards caused by CRTs waste generation have become an extensive dilemma around the globe. Lead is contained in sufficient amounts in the waste CRTs, which causes serious hazards to human health and the environment. The increasing demand for concrete and natural resources due to swift urbanization has made it crucial to replace the natural aggregates in concrete either as a partial replacement or total replacement, without affecting the concrete performance. CRT waste glasses are abundant in silica, have low water absorption property and adequate intrinsic strength. These characteristics of CRT waste glass make it apt for usage as pozzolan or sand in construction materials. They can be partially or totally replaced for natural sand as fine aggregate in concrete. This review work extends an in-depth summary of literature detailing the reuse of CRT glass waste as a fine aggregate replacement in concrete. The properties such as water performance, thermal property, strength and durability of CRT glass waste-based concrete and their method of manufacturing have also been studied in this paper. Furthermore, a comparative performance analysis of CRT glass waste concrete with other E-waste incorporated concrete has also been included in this paper. The current work shall contribute to enhancement towards sustainability and economic development of CRT glass waste incorporated concrete in the construction industry. Thus, the issues related to CRT glass waste such as contamination of soil, environment and water bodies, health issues caused to living beings and simultaneously, the degradation of natural restricted aggregate resources could be reduced considerably by several folds.

Effects of elevated temperature on thermo-mechanical properties of fired ceramic products reinforced with waste glass powder (WGP) were reported. Samples were produced by the addition of WGP to clay in varied amount and oven dried samples were fired in an electric furnace which was operated 1200 oC. Compressive and flexural strength were examined at room temperature and at elevated temperatures of 100, 300, 500, 700, and 900 oC. Results showed that, compressive strength and flexural strength reduced at elevated temperatures. Thermal conductivity, diffusivity, and emissivity were higher with increasing WGP content, while thermal expansivity and specific heat capacity were lower as percentage WGP increased in the samples. Results on thermal shock resistance showed that WGP reduced shock resistance in the samples, while the cooling rate increased with the percentage addition of WGP. Impact resistance was noted to decrease in samples when fast cooled from high temperature as the rapid cooling rate was observed to increase with WGP addition in samples. It was concluded that for fired clay products incorporated with WGP, the operating temperature should not exceed 700 oC. Also, in an environment whereby cooling is done by air or/and water, an operating temperature of ≤ 300 oC was recommended.

Waste foundry sand (WFS) is the by-product of the foundry industry. Utilizing it in the construction industry will protect the environment and its natural resources, and enable sustainable construction. WFS was employed in this research as a fractional substitution of natural sand by 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% in concrete. Several tests, including workability, compressive strength (CS), splitting tensile strength (STS), and flexural strength (FS), ultrasonic pulse velocity (USPV), Schmidt rebound hammer number (RHN), and residual compressive strengths (RCS) tests were performed to understand the behavior of concrete before and after exposure to elevated temperatures. Test findings showed that the strength characteristics were increased by including WFS at all the phases. For a substitute rate of 30%, the maximum compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strength were observed. Replacement with WFS enhanced the 28-day compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strength by 7.82%, 9.87%, and 10.35%, respectively at a 30% replacement level, and showed continuous improvement until the age of 91 days. The RCS of foundry sand concrete after one month of air cooling at ambient temperature after exposing to 300 °C, 400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C, 700 °C, and 800 °C was found to be in the range of 67.50% to 71.00%, 57.50% to 61.50%, 49.00% to 51.50%, 38% to 41%, 31% to 35% and 26% to 31.5% of unheated compressive strength values for 0% to 40% replacement of WFS, respectively. The RCS decreases with increasing temperature; however, with increasing WFS, the RCS was enhanced in comparison to the control samples. In addition, the replacement of 30% yielded excellent outcomes. Hence, this study provides a sustainable construction material that will preserve the Earth’s natural resources and provide a best use of WFS.

Glass has the characteristics of biologically incapable of breaking down, corrosion resistant, suitable for long term storage and use. It has resistance of acid, alkali and salt and stable property. The hardness of the natural stone with the glass is very close , therefore, the waste glass as fine aggregate instead of natural sand to produce concrete is feasible. This paper use ordinary concrete C30 as the research object normal concrete using mixed glass method design, in accordance with the percentage of 0, 50, 100 instead of sand. Three sections and eighteen waste glass aggregate concrete specimens were produced for the cube concrete compressive strength and the axial compressive strength experiments. Through the analysis of experimental data, it suggested that the ratio of glass replacing sand is higher ,the compressive strength and the axial compressive strength are higher.

In this article, the microstructure and mechanical behavior of the Ti49.1Ni50.9 alloy with a high content of nickel in a coarse-grained state, obtained by quenching, ultrafine-grained (obtained through the equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) method) and nanocrystalline (high pressure torsion (HPT) + annealing), were investigated using mechanical tensile tests at different temperatures. Mechanical tests at different strain rates for determining the parameter of strain rate sensitivity m were carried out. Analysis of m showed that with an increase in the test temperature, an increase in this parameter was observed for all studied states. In addition, this parameter was higher in the ultrafine-grained state than in the coarse-grained state. The activation deformation volume in the ultrafine-grained state was 2–3 times greater than in the coarse-grained state at similar tensile temperatures. Fractographic analysis of samples after mechanical tests was carried out. An increase in the test temperature led to a change in the nature of fracture from quasi-brittle–brittle (with small pits) at room temperature to ductile (with clear dimples) at elevated temperatures. Microstructural studies were carried out after the tensile tests at different temperatures, showing that at elevated test temperatures, the matrix was depleted in nickel with the formation of martensite twins.
