摘要

Cement and aggregate are essential materials in construction as they are primary constituents for concrete. The production of concrete requires significant amounts of natural materials, primarily cement and aggregates, which are typically extracted from rock quarries, thereby harming the environment and depleting non-renewable resources. Thus, it is vital to consider alternative materials that can reduce the reliance on natural resources. Soda-lime glass waste, a product from various industries, offers substantial potential as an alternative to sand. Soda-lime glass waste varies in shape and size, including packaged glass and other forms. Each type has a limited usable life and must be repurposed to prevent environmental issues. Recycling soda-lime glass waste is feasible, although removing dyes from colored glass can be costly. Landfilling of soda-lime glass waste: Soda-lime glass waste is discouraged as it is non-biodegradable and environmentally harmful. Soda-lime glass waste has significant potential in the construction industry as a durable and cost-effective alternative to sand. Over the past decade, the use of sheet-glass waste from retail outlets, construction sites, and manufacturing has grown substantially. Incorporating soda-lime glass waste in the construction industry reduces costs and supports sustainability. When soda-lime glass waste is finely ground and reacts with calcium hydroxide and water, it forms calcium-silicate hydrates (C-S-H), akin to those produced by traditional cementitious materials.
