Glass is a substance that is present in most houses since glass-based items are made and consumed in relatively high quantities. This has led to the buildup of glass in concerning quantities all over the world, which is a problem for the environment. It is well known that glass has several advantageous physiochemical features that qualify it as an appropriate material for use in the construction industry as an aggregate. The features include being non-biodegradable, resistant to chemical assault, having low water absorption, having high hydraulic conductivity, having temperature-dependent ductility, having alterable particle gradation, and having a wide availability in a variety of forms and chemical compositions. Because of these qualities, glass has been used in various investigations and field tests conducted in civil engineering to evaluate its effectiveness as an engineering aggregate and to develop environmentally friendly management strategies for waste glass. These studies and research have utilized glass in various forms, such as fine recycled glass, medium recycled glass, coarse recycled glass, powdered glass, and glass-based geopolymers. This study focuses on research studies that present results on physicochemical, mechanical, and durability characteristics. These studies and research contain samples of pure glass or glass as replacement percentages in materials (0-100%), including but not limited to unbound granular materials (such as recycled concrete aggregates and crushed rock). In light of the information assembled in this review article, it is legitimate to claim that glass has strong promise as a material in various civil applications.
玻璃是一种在大多数房屋中都存在的物质,因为玻璃制品的制造和消费量相对较高。这导致了全球范围内玻璃的大量堆积,这对环境来说是个问题。众所周知,玻璃具有若干有利的物理化学特性,使其有资格作为一种合适的材料用于建筑业作为集料。这些特性包括不可生物降解、耐化学侵蚀、吸水率低、水力传导率高、具有温度依赖性延展性、颗粒级配可变,以及能以多种形式和化学成分广泛获取。由于这些特性,玻璃已被用于土木工程中的各种调查和现场试验,以评估其作为工程集料的有效性,并制定废弃玻璃的环保管理策略。这些研究利用了各种形式的玻璃,如细再生玻璃、中再生玻璃、粗再生玻璃、玻璃粉和玻璃基地质聚合物。本研究聚焦于呈现物理化学、力学和耐久性特征结果的研究。这些研究包含纯玻璃样本或玻璃在材料中的替代百分比(0 - 100%),包括但不限于无结合料粒料(如再生混凝土集料和碎石)。根据这篇综述文章中收集的信息,可以合理地宣称玻璃在各种土木应用中作为一种材料具有很大的潜力。
