Glass is a material that can be reused, except for a small part that, due to its residual characteristics, cannot be reused and becomes a nonbiodegradable waste to accumulate in landfills. The chemical composition and pozzolanic properties of waste glass are encouraging for the use of these wastes in the cement and concrete industries and for providing technically and environmentally viable solutions. In this study, we propose the production of deactivated concretes with a high content of glass powder in the binder. The substitution percentage of glass powder for cement used in this work was between 70% and 80%. Consistency, air content, bulk density, workability, compression strength, and permeability tests were performed. Regarding compressive strength, the results obtained at 90 days for percentages of cement substitution by glass powder of 70 and 80%, respectively, were 14.2 and 8.6. The chemical analysis of leachates showed concentrations of Fe, Cu, V, Ni, and Mo, in mg L−1, of 1.57, 1.38, 0.85, 0.95, and 0.44, respectively. The results obtained, compared with the relevant legislation, have proved that the inclusion of glass powder in a high percentage of substitution and with a granulometry of 20 µm in the manufacture of deactivated concretes is feasible for exterior pavements.

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 effect of hydrothermal activation indifferent temperature and pressure conditions on the pozzolanic activity of waste glass powder was discussed. The waste glass powder was treated at 108°C, 0.15MPa, 116°C, 0.18MPa and 121°C, 0.2MPa for 2h in an autoclave respectively after milling to 4215cm2/g. Mortar was made with untreated and hydrothermal activated waste glass power replacement of cement at 20% respectively, then tested for compressive strength at 3, 7, 14 , 28 and 90 days. Results showed that compressive strength of cement mortar had varying degrees of decline when replacing cement with untreated waste glass powder, comparing to the control one. Decline amplitude was large at early age and small at late age. Activity of waste glass powder was significantly improved after hydrothermal treatment. Compressive strength of mortar improved as temperature and pressure elevated, obtaining optimal strength at 121°C, 0.2MPa. Compressive strength of mortar with hydrothermal activated glass powder was higher than that with untreated glass powder at all age with 20% cement replacement. Compressive strength increased 5.3% ~ 13.6% at 3 d, 6.8%~9.7% at 28 d, 9.7% ~ 17.7% at 90 d. The essence of hydrothermal activation was the corrosion of water in the glass.

Wall and floor tiles were fabricated by a dry pressing method using waste glass and clay. The properties of the tiles such as absorption, bulk density, porosity, compressive strength, and abrasion loss are investigated with the firing temperature and glass content. The properties are improved with increasing both the firing temperature and glass content. These properties, except the compressive strength, tend to be saturated from the glass contents of 70 wt % in the case of 1050 . The compressive strength shows the maximum values at the glass contents of 70 wt% and then which are decreased with increasing the glass contents. The optimal properties obtained in the tiles are the water absorption of about 0.9 %, the bulk density of about 2.3 g/cm3, the apparent porosity of about 2.1 %, the compressive strength of about 210 MPa, and the abrasion loss of about 0.022 g, when the composition containing the glass of 70 wt% is fired at 1050. These results are better than the properties of commercial clay tiles, due to easy melting and densification of glassy phase in the tiles.

In this work, waste glass powder from broken windows and plastic fibers from waste polyethylene terephthalate bottles are utilized to produce an economical self-compact concrete. Fresh properties (slump flow diameter, slump Flow T50, V. Funnel, L–Box), mechanical properties (Compressive strength and Flexural strength) and impact resistance of self-compact concrete are investigated. 15% waste glass powder as a partial replacement of cement with five percentages of polyethylene terephthalate plastic waste were adopted: 0% (reference), 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.25% and 1.5% by volume. It seems that the flow ability of self-compact concrete decreases with the increasing of the amount of plastic fibers. The compressive strength was increased slightly with plastic fiber content up to (0.75%), about 4.6% For more than (0.75%) plastic fiber. The compressive strength began to decrease about 15.2%. The results showed an improvement in flexural strength and an impact on the resistance in all tested specimens’ content of the plastic fibers, especially at (1.5%) fibers.

 A greater portion of nonrecyclable waste glass is accumulated on landfills creating a serious environmental problem. Recent studies have been carried out to utilize the waste glass in construction as partial replacement of cement. This paper investigates the fineness properties of four sizes glass particles and strength characteristics of mortar in which cement is partially replaced with glass powder in the replacement level with 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%. Mortar cubes containing with varying particle sizes in the ranges of 212 μm, 75 μm, 63-38 μm and lower than 38 μm and in a water to cement ratio 0f 0.50 and 0.45 have been prepared. Room temperature and relative humidity have been maintained 32º and 90% respectively during the curing process. Replacement of 10% cement with glass powder reveals the higher compressive strength at 28days than other levels of replacement. The reduction in compressive strength increases with the level of cement replacement.

This research mainly focused on the properties of decorative white cement tiles which made from waste glass and white cement. The ratio of waste glass powder and white cement were studied at 10 : 90, 15 : 85, 20 : 80, 30 : 70, 40 : 60, 50 : 50, 60 : 40 and 70 : 30 by using water content at 30 %wt. All components were mixed and cast into the mould. Decorative white cement tiles were curing at 14, 21 and 28 days. In order to characterize physical and mechanical properties, all tiles were measured density, water absorption and compressive strength. According to the results, it can be obviously seen that density increased and water absorption decreased with increasing waste glass powder content. The highest compressive strength of around 36.5 MPa was found at 20 %wt of waste glass powder. However, compressive strength decreased with increasing waste glass powder over 20 %wt (waste glass powder 20: white cement 80). It was found that the lowest compressive strength of around 30.58 MPa was found at 70 %wt of waste glass powder. Curing time also affected properties as it was found that increasing curing time to 28 days resulted in increasing of density and compressive strength. In order to study how long does essential oil last on decorative white cement tiles, the orange essential oil at 1, 5 and 10 %wt were added into the white cement paste by using waste glass powder : white cement at 20 : 80 with 30 %wt of water. Decorative white cement tiles were smelled by 30 people every morning for 30 days and it can be found that 10 %wt of orange essential oil last longest on the decorative white cement tiles with 22 days.

Glass is an amorphous material, which could be a good pozzolanic material and can be beneficial in compressive strength gain. However, if waste of glass powder has undesirable contaminations (aluminium, clay impurities, sulphates, etc.) it can negatively affect hydration process. In the research were used two types of waste glass (with and without harmful impurities). Waste glass shards were obtained from a local waste recycling plant and its properties were investigated in the Portland cement hydration process. Properties of waste glass were analysed by SEM, XRD test methods, pozzolanicity of glass powder was investigated by Chappelle test method. The hydration process of Portland cement was researched by the semi-adiabatic test method and XRD analysis. Properties of hardened cement paste was analysed by: density, flexural and compressive strength test methods The main aim of this research is to analyse waste glass, which after primary cleaning is not suitable for secondary reuse and investigate its suitability in cement-based systems.
