Abstract
This research investigates the impact of waste glass powder, high-frequency ultrasonics (HFUS) dispersion, and liquid glass treatment on aluminum-based ultra-lightweight concrete. Substituting up to 80% of Portland cement with waste glass powder significantly delays hydration and reduces compressive strength by 77%. However, applying HFUS dispersion for 60 s to a mixture with 30% waste glass powder substitution restored compressive strength to the reference value of 3.1 MPa. The combined HFUS and liquid glass treatment enhanced compressive strength by 87%, increased density by 32%, and significantly reduced prosody. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a progressively denser cement matrix with each treatment, highlighting the synergistic effects of these methods in improving concrete properties.
