The Study on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete Used Vitrified Glass

Vitrified Glass 를 혼입한 콘크리트의 물리.역학적 특성

Over 4.1 billion metric tons of non-hazardous solid wastes are generated in the United States anually. Therefore, there is a need to reuse or reprocess as many products or by -products as possible. In this report, the aggregates produced from Naval Shipyard and Charlexton area dredge spoils are designated as NC and DS, respectively. The major objective of this portion was to determine the feasibility of the use of these aggregates in concrete mixtures. According to test results, the unit weight of concrete mixtures containing NC and DS (vitrified glass) was lower than the control mixture, and the control mixture produced higher compressive and bending strength compared to mixtures containing vitrified glass. However the mixtures containing vitrified glass still could be used in the field based on the minimum criteria set for the mix desgin.
