Abstract

possibility of using waste glass as a substitute for gregate in concrete depends on resolving the problem reaction. Recent experimental observations showed glass particle size is reduced the adverse effects on expansion of concrete get worse, but only down to a (pessimum) size of particles. Surprisingly, for smaller periments at Columbia University revealed the opposite proposes an idea that can this by fracture mechanics.
