摘要

This study evaluates the role of particle size optimization on the key properties of mortar incorporating high volumes of waste glass powder (WGP). A comparative analysis was conducted between traditional WGP (TWGP) and optimized, redistributed WGP (RWGP). Pore structure, mechanical properties, and shrinkage behavior were evaluated. Results demonstrate that the 50% RWGP mixture achieved mechanical strength comparable to the reference, while simultaneously reducing 28-day shrinkage by up to 30.0%. Microstructural analysis reveals that the superior performance of RWGP originates from a more homogeneous pore structure. Furthermore, a modified shrinkage prediction model was developed by incorporating an accurate characterization of the time-dependent cement hydration degree, demonstrating high predictive accuracy for the behavior of high-volume WGP mixtures.
