Effect of glass waste on properties of cellular concrete waste powder

Abstract EN

The research includes making mixtures of cellular concrete (thermostone) waste powder with different percentages of glass waste powder and measuring some mechanical and physical properties of the resulting composite material of glass and thermostone waste.

The properties (porosity, absorption, density, compression, and hardness) were tested on two types samples, first type without addition of glass (standard sample) and the second with addition of glass (10, 20, 30)% by weight of thermostone waste.

The results showed that both of porosity and absorption of thermostat waste powder are decreasing with increasing of a glass percent, where porosity decrease from 63.38% to 28.74% and absorptions from 46.88% to 16.78%.

Density, compression and hardness were increased with increasing of glass percent, where density increased from 1.351 to 1.712 gm/cmP 3 P, compression from 9.7 to 13.8 Mpa, and hardness from 22.7 to 99.7.
