| Summary: | Recent studies have been carried out to utilize waste glass in construction as partial
cement replacement. This paper investigates the formation of Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) and
strength characteristics of mortar in which cement is partially replaced with glass powder by
replacement level of 10%, 20% and 30%. Mortar cubes containing varying particle sizes in the
ranges of 150-75μm, 63-38 μm and lower than 38 μm and in a water to cement ratio of 0.45 and
0.40 have been prepared. Replacement by 10% cement with glass powder reveals high compressive
strength and produces more C-S-H at 28 days than other levels of replacement. |
