Characteristics of Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Member Substituted Heavyweight Waste Glass as Fine Aggregate
The progress of civilization has been led to the increase of industrial products, the amount of waste is increasing, and its disposal has become a problem. And, the huge amount of expended concrete has led to the dissipation of natural aggregate. To deal with these problems, many researches have been executed to use a variety of industrial waste as aggregate in concrete materials. So, in this paper, the flexural behavior with substitution ratio of heavyweight waste glass were compared and evaluated in reinforced concrete members. From the results, initial cracking load, yielding load and flexural rigidity less affected by substitution ratio of heavyweight waste glass. However, the ductility of the RC member was significantly affected when all of the fine aggregate is replaced by the heavyweight waste glass.
