Characterization of waste recycled glass as a highway material
The success of glass recycling programs has resulted in an oversupply of waste recycled glass or glass cullet. The properties and strength of glass cullet aggregate mixes are influenced by maximum size of cullet, cullet content in the mix, type of conventional aggregate, and also the debris level …

The processing and characterisation of recycled glass fibre composites
The widespread use of glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP) over the last decades has led to an increasing amount of waste and a demand for recycling solutions. Mechanical, chemical and thermal GFRP recycling processes have been developed in academia but the commercialisation of GFRP recycling …

Macro - and Microstructure Evaluation and Field Applications of Concrete with Recycled Glass Pozzolan
… work has been focused on the evaluation of a new glass pozzolan (GP) from recycled post-consumer glass.</p> <p>The GP branded as Pozzotive® has been developed by Urban Mining Northeast as a proven product used in concrete-block, cast-in-place and pre-stressed concretes. Pozzotive® conforms to ASTM …

Characterisation and Evaluation of Thermally Treated Recycled Glass for Mass Finishing and Superfinishing Processes
… product based wholly on thermally treated recycled glass, which acts as both a bond and abrasive for mass finishing and superfinishing processes. The recycling of glass is excellent in respect of sustainability and environmental efficiency. The aim of the study was to establish requirements …

Digital image correlation analysis of alkali silica reaction in concrete with recycled glass aggregate
… Reactivity of Aggregates (Mortar-Bar Method). Recycled glass is used as the aggregate source in four mortar mixtures used in this study. For each batch, during the 14 days accelerated ASR test, digital images of the surface of the mortar bars are captured every 30 minutes. The images are then …

Analysis of Contaminants on Ground Glass Pozzolan and the Effects on Pozzolan Performance in Mortar
Using ground glass pozzolan as a replacement for portland cement can reduce the CO2 emissions associated with concrete production and utilize waste glass that would otherwise end up in landfills. In the United States, municipal solid waste (MSW) stream recycling operations collect plastic, glass, …

Enhancing Urban Energy Sustainability through PCM-Integrated Mortar Infrastructure
… using Phase-Change Material (PCM) and recycled crushed glass with low thermal conductivity. This study also aims to clarify contradictory findings about the impact of glass on the mechanical properties of mortar. While some studies suggest that incorporating glass improves the strength …

GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BALTIMORE DREDGED SEDIMENTS AS AN INFILTRATION BERM MATERIAL ON HIGHWAY SLOPES
… material and its blends with straw, sand, and recycled glass aggregate. All amendments were chosen due to their potential of reducing infiltration time, increasing hydraulic conductivity and as well as increasing the available water content (AWC) to promote vegetation. The effects of different …

Generation of Recyclable Liquid Crystalline Polymer Reinforced Composites for Use in Conventional and Additive Manufacturing Processes
The application of glass fiber reinforced composites has grown rapidly due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, low cost, and chemical resistance. However, the increasing demand for fiber reinforced composites results in the generation of more composite wastes. Mechanical recycling is a …

Use of grape pomace as a fine aggregate in concrete
… materials. These alternatives range from recycled glass, plastic, rubber, hemp, and sawdust, to other organic materials. Minimal research has been conducted into the use of pomace in concrete. Grape pomace is a waste by-product from the six-stage wine-making process comprising skins, …

Reflective mulch effects on the grapevine environment, Pinot noir vine performance, and juice and wine characteristics
… mussel shells (MS) and green (GG) and clear (CG) recycled crushed glass. A control of bare soil was also included. MS and CG were light coloured while GG and CON were dark. Treatments were applied randomly within each of three replicates. Soil parameters tested were temperature, moisture, …
