Abstract |
Glass is amorphous material with high silica content, thus making it potentially pozzolanic when particle size is less than 90μm. Studies have shown that finely ground glass does not contribute to alkali – silica reaction. In the recent, various attempts and research have been made to use ground glass as a replacement in conventional ingredients in concrete production as a part of greenhouse management. A major concern regarding the use of glass in concrete is the chemical reaction that takes place between the silica – rich glass particle and the alkali in pore solution of concrete, which is called Alkali – Silicate reaction can be very detrimental to the stability of concrete. Utilization of waste glass is very important for human development because huge amount of glass waste produce by human increases the need of precious land for dumping waste glass, decreasing possible area that can be used for landfills of other waste increasing the need to establish new expansive landfills, lactates and gas releases from the landfill site degrade communities living condition and harmful to human health, location of most recycling plants are built within low income neighborhoods because of cheap labor and strict regulation may affect respiratory system if breath in pollutants. |
