An Experimental Study on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Containing Waste Glass

폐유리를 혼입한 강섬유보강 콘크리트의 물리ㆍ역학적 특성에 관한 실험적 연구

The production of waste glasses has been increased with the development of industry. The utilization of waste glass for concrete can cause the concrete to be cracked and to be weakened due to an expansion by alkali-silica reaction(ASR). When used the fibers with waste glass, there is an effect on reduction of expansion and strength loss due to ASR between the alkali in the cement paste and the silica in the waste glass. In this study, we conducted basic experimental research to analyze the possibilities of recycling of amber waste glass as fine aggregates for steel fiber reinforced concrete. Test results of fresh concrete. slump is decreased because grain shape is angular and air content is increased due to involving small size particles so much in waste glasses. Also. tensile and flexural strengths increased as the content of steel fibers increased. In conclusion, the content of waste glass below 40% is reasonable and usage of pertinent admixture is necessary to obtain workability or air content.
