Evaluation of the use of glass on the mechanical properties of concrete

Glass recycling requires primary crushing of the material and subsequent granulation of the material through the sieving process, and the final product may not have the same qualities as the original material.An alternative for recycling glass by-products is in the production of concrete based on CP, where it has been successfully used as a substitute for fine aggregate and/or cementitious material; and although there is a large number of studies on this subject, most of them refer to the use of soda-lime glass, since it is the most common and widely available.In the present work, the effect of the use of industrial by-products based on VMG granulated ground glass is evaluated, in order to reduce the RAS, C02 and cause an improvement in the environment as well as a reduction in the costs of the same, which have been reported in general, more prone to present the harmful expansion product of the RAS, and for which it is necessary to use smaller particle sizes in order to avoid the harmful expansion product of the RAS.
