Abstract

Concrete, a crucial construction material, is globally ubiquitous, driving high demand for natural resources like sand. However, soaring sand consumption and the environmental toll of glass waste necessitate creative solutions. This research probes the viability of using waste glass in lieu of fine aggregate in concrete, aiming to tackle environmental and economic dilemmas via sustainable building practices. Waste glass, an industrial byproduct, poses pressing waste management challenges. This study spotlights the potential gains of fusing waste glass into concrete blends. Diverse investigations have probed the impact of glass waste replacement on concrete properties, with varied substitution levels yielding enhanced mechanical traits. Despite hurdles such as alkali-silica reactions, integrating waste glass offers promise for advancing sustainable construction. The study advocates wider embrace of glass-infused concrete to champion circular economy principles and curtail environmental repercussions.
