Research on Waste Glass Concrete Basic Mechanical Property

Abstract

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.
