Recycled glass concrete

The chapter begins by introducing sources of waste glass and ways of recycling waste glass in concrete. It then summarizes fresh properties and mechanical properties of recycled glass concrete and discusses how recycled waste glass affects these properties. The chapter elaborates on durability of recycled glass concrete, especially on alkali-silica reactivity since this is the main concern for recycled glass concrete.

Finally, the chapter presents suggestions for further studies on recycled glass concrete, and proposes future trends of using recycled glass in concrete in more economic and eco-efficient ways.
