Abstract
Glass trash management is a major global concern. This waste glass is sourced from various sources, including glass containers, flat glass, and household glass. The situation is becoming more challenging as the amount of waste glass continues expanding and available landfill space grows limited. This study explores the challenges faced in reusing and recycling glass in concrete, concentrating on the principles of the Circular Economy. In addition to this comprehensive review, it collects 2000 publications from 2000 to 2023 originating from 50 nations and appears in 150 research journal articles concentrating on using recycled glass material in concrete. This review offers a thorough examination of research on the substitution of recycled glass trash for aggregates when producing concrete. It focuses on analyzing the substitution that will affect these materials' mechanical and new characteristics. In addition, the review seeks to expand knowledge regarding the possible uses of recycled glass as a sustainable resource in the concrete industry. The results show that adding glass trash to concrete improves its qualities and helps create a more circular and sustainable economy.
期刊介绍:
The Asian Journal of Civil Engineering (Building and Housing) welcomes articles and research contributions on topics such as:- Structural analysis and design - Earthquake and structural engineering - New building materials and concrete technology - Sustainable building and energy conservation - Housing and planning - Construction management - Optimal design of structuresPlease note that the journal will not accept papers in the area of hydraulic or geotechnical engineering, traffic/transportation or road making engineering, and on materials relevant to non-structural buildings, e.g. materials for road making and asphalt. Although the journal will publish authoritative papers on theoretical and experimental research works and advanced applications, it may also feature, when appropriate: a) tutorial survey type papers reviewing some fields of civil engineering; b) short communications and research notes; c) book reviews and conference announcements.
