The Impact

Expansive soils are generally considered problematic due to undesirable geotechnical characteristics like expansion, shrinking, settlement, and heaving. Such soils have low shear strength which decreases after wetting or other physical aggravations. Subsequently, such soils need proper improvement before constructing a structure on them. Different industrial wastes have been used for the stabilization of weak soil in the past. In the current investigation, the impact of waste glass powder (WGP) on the strength and swelling characteristic of swelling soils have been assessed. The primary target of this examination was to research the utilization of waste glass powder in geotechnical applications for controlling the settlement and expanding qualities. For this reason, the local expansive soil of district Karak, Pakistan was selected and their engineering properties were assessed. The experimental work consists of conducting the consistency limits, California bearing ratio (CBR), specific gravity standard Procter tests.  The mentioned tests were carried out on both natural as well as modified specimens. For modification purposes, waste glass powder (WGP) was added in different proportions with the incremental rate of 4%,  for instant  0%,  4%, 8%, 12%, 16%, and 20%. The addition of waste glass powder greatly reduced the swelling properties of the tested soil and also improved the engineering characteristics. A maximum reduction in swelling was observed at 20% addition of waste glass powder. Similarly, the liquid limid also reduced, and the specific gravity and maximum dry density increased at optimum glass powder content.

This study was carried out with an intention to observe any sign of improvement of expansive clayey soil due to the addition of Waste Glass Powder (WGP) with it. In this laboratory work clayey (BC) type soil has been chosen. The reason behind choosing clay is that it has many problems. The main problem is that it undergoes consolidation settlement due to the application of long-term loading. Another problem is it shrinks significantly if it is dried and expands significantly, if it absorbs moisture than exerts much pressure on the substructure. Quick Lime and Waste Glass powder is chosen to check the improvement because waste glass powder is cohesionless material and also contains silica, lime etc. Addition of cohesionless material to the cohesive soil means it will lesser the consolidation settlement and expansive nature of soil and Lime provides binding property. To investigate the traditional methods of analysing, the effect of additives on soil has been adopted i.e., conducting several tests of untreated soil and soil treated with waste glass and lime with varying percentage and then comparing the results obtained. The tests that were carried out in this study are Compaction test (Proctor test), Consolidation test (unconfined compression test). MDD and Unconfined compressive strength increases with the addition of glass powder and lime with oven dried expansive soil.

The Impact

The flexural behavior of Incinerated Bio-Medical Waste Ash (IBWA) – Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) based Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete (RGPC) beams with Waste Glass Powder (WGP) as fine aggregate is explored in this research. The fine aggregate (M-Sand) is substituted by varying the waste glass powder as 0 percent, 5 percent, 10 percent, 15 percent, 20 percent, 25 percent, 30 percent, 35 percent, 40 percent, 45 percent, and 50 percent, and the mixture is cured under atmospheric curing. The impact of the WGP weight percentage on the flexural behavior of GPC beams is analyzed. The conduct of RGPC beams varies from that of ordinary Portland Concrete (OPC) beams, which is defined and examined. Deflection, ductility factor, flexural strength, and toughness index were measured as flexural properties for beams. In contrast to the reference beams, the RGPC beams containing 50% Waste Glass Powder as fine aggregate demonstrated a major increase in cracking resistance, serviceability, and ductility, according to the experimental finding. The RGPC beam without WGP ended in failure with a brittle manner whereas those beams with WGP encountered ductile failure. The RGPC beams' load ability improved by up to 50% as the weight percentage of WGP was enhanced.

: In this examination an endeavor is made to contemplate the impact of waste glass power in Concrete utilizing waste glass, which is non biodegradable and not reasonable to landfill. This examination is done to utilize such waste materials into development enterprises with the goal that our current circumstance is free to one of the significant contamination created by the assembling ventures. The primary point of this investigation is to use of waste glass power as a halfway substitution of fine total. In this examination the point is to decide the level of glass substitution, bringing about ideal compressive strength. Substantial ostensible blend of M20 with various rates of Glass power has been assessed according to IS 2386(part IV) and IS 383. Squander glass powder was supplant with fine total in different rates, for example, 5%,10%,15%. Reference substantial blend is likewise made for relative reasons.

This study aims to provide a thermophysical characterization of a new economical and green mortar. This material is characterized by partially replacing the cement with recycled soda lime glass. The cement was partially substituted (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60% in weight) by glass powder with a water/cement ratio of 0.4. The glass powder and four of the seven samples were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The thermophysical properties, such as thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat, were experimentally measured in both dry and wet (water saturated) states. These properties were determined as a function of the glass powder percentage by using a CT-Meter at different temperatures (20 °C, 30 °C, 40 °C and 50 °C) in a temperature-controlled box. The results show that the thermophysical parameters decreased linearly when 60% glass powder was added to cement mortar: 37% for thermal conductivity, 18% for volumetric specific heat and 22% for thermal diffusivity. The density of the mortar also decreased by about 11% in dry state and 5% in wet state. The use of waste glass powder as a cement replacement affects the thermophysical properties of cement mortar due to its porosity as compared with the control mortar. The results indicate that thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat increases with temperature increase and/or the substitution rate decrease. Therefore, the addition of waste glass powder can significantly affect the thermophysical properties of ordinary cement mortar.

One of the ways of lessening the CO2 emissions of cement industry consists of replacing clinkers with supplementary cementitious materials. The required service life of real construction elements is long, so it is useful to characterize the performance of these materials in the very long term. Here, the influence of incorporating waste glass powder as a supplementary cementitious material, regarding the microstructure and durability of mortars after 1500 hardening days (approximately 4 years), compared with reference mortars without additions, was studied. The percentages of clinker replacement by glass powder were 10% and 20%. The microstructure was studied using impedance spectroscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry. Differential thermal and X-ray diffraction analyses were performed for assessing the pozzolanic activity of glass powder at the end of the time period studied. Water absorption after immersion, the steady-state diffusion coefficient, and length change were also determined. In view of the results obtained, the microstructure of mortars that incorporated waste glass powder was more refined compared with the reference specimens. The global solid fraction and pores volume were very similar for all of the studied series. The addition of waste glass powder reduced the chloride diffusion coefficient of the mortars, without worsening their behaviour regarding water absorption after immersion.
