| Abstract: | In this study, alkali silica reaction (ASR)
expansion and strength characteristics of mortar containing waste glasses are
analyzed in terms of waste glass content and glass color. Three different
colors of waste glasses (white, green and brown) are replaced with sand at
ratios of 10%, 30% and 100% by weight. The mixtures used in this study did not
show a considerable ASR expansion. All batches had expansions less than 0.10%
is indicative of non-deleterious expansion. However,
the samples continued to expand beyond 14 days which makes the test period
questionable for glass containing samples. The strength depends upon the level
of waste glass replacement and age. With high replacement percentages of sand by waste glass, the glass
containing mortar exhibited lower values of compressive strength. This effect
is more pronounced for 100% glass containing mortar. The reduction in flexural
strength is generally higher than the reduction in compressive
strength of the similar samples. It can be concluded that up to
30% replacement level of waste glass, the glass containing mortar can achieve improved
or equivalent strength performance compared to 100% limestone mortar. |
