Natural sand (NS) is one of the most used engineering materials in almost all types of construction worldwide. Considering environmental sustainability, the replacement of natural sand with crushed glass waste (CWG) can provide a solution for both geo-environmental problems of natural sand depletion and waste glass disposal at a time, since sand and glass share almost similar chemical components. This research aimed to investigate the mechanical behaviors of natural sand replaced with fine CWG particles by 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 %, 25 %, 30 %, and 35 % of dry weight. NS-CWG optimum composition was then stabilized by adding Class C fly ash (FA) from 5 to 35 % of NS-CWG to find out the optimum FA content to stabilize NS-CWG. The effects were analyzed through compaction, direct shear, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests. Test results showed that maximum dry density increased, and optimum moisture content decreased due to adding CWG, and a contrasting effect was found after adding FA. 25 % FA significantly stabilized the NS-CWG mixture's strength parameters, such as increased cohesion, angle of internal friction, improved shear strength by 55.67 %, and increased CBR by 44 %. The decreased roundness index and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) test results further evaluated and supported the improved geotechnical properties of NS + CWG + FA. The findings of the study can be useful in producing recycled materials for constructing road pavements of sustainable transport network development.
