Some Durability Properties of Self-Compacting Concretes Containing Recycled Waste Glass as a Replacement of Cement: A Review

Abstract

The maintenance and construction of buildings consume huge amounts of cement leading to increase the pollution and cost. Using of recycled materials such as recycled waste glass (RWG), instead of fundamental materials decreases the cost of waste disposable which helps easing landfill pressures and saving large amount of natural sources as raw material. Since RWG have approximately the same chemical compounds of cement that made it an excellent material using instead of cement partially but, one problem faced the researcher is the Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) which is a chemical interaction between numerous amount of silica in glass and the alkali in concretes and the results of this reaction precipitate in pore solution. The objective of this review is to focus on some durability research requirement that will assist get this type of materials nearer to international employ.
