Impact of Waste Glass on Fresh and Hardened Characteristics of Structural Concrete Subjected to High-Temperatures
摘要
Recently, there has been increased interest in producing green concrete by replacing part of its components with materials produced from waste, including glass waste. Previous studies have proven its efficiency as a pozzolanic material. In this work, the effect of glass on reducing the effect of temperature on the deterioration of concrete properties was investigated. The cement was replaced by 10% and 15% glass waste powder (GWP). Adding glass has a slight effect on the test results, and the slump value is not greatly affected by the addition of glass. The compressive strength of all mixes drops after exposure to 400 and 600 °C. In this experiment, concrete with 10% GWP substitution performed better than ordinary concrete and 15% GWP at 400 and 600 °C. However, the rate of loss of tensile strength, especially in the case of flexural, is greater than the loss of compressive strength after exposure to a temperature of 600 °C. The rate of loss of strength in the case of concrete compressive strength ranged between 32% for 10% GWP and 38% for 15% GWP to 39% for the reference. While the rate of loss of strength in the case of concrete tensile strength ranged between 45% for 10% GWP and 50% for 15% GWP to 55% for the reference. It is evident that as the concentration of glass powder increases, the amount of water absorbed decreases at all l temperature levels. UPV (ultrasonic pulse velocity) values dropped so sharply, especially at 600 ℃.
