Studies show that using waste glass sand up to 20% replacement levels did not show substantial ASR expansion [6,16]. Also, since ASR reactions are attributed to various parameters, including particle size, well-graded glass send can serve to increase the density due to the micro-filling effect and thus lower the risk of ASR expansion .

Mapúa University, Manila, Philippines rembjoya@gmail, buanarneljr@gmail, minorona@yahoo . Abstract . The construction industry plays a significant role in the national economy. In the Philippines, there are very limited research studies involving the use of waste materials as an additional component in producing CHB. Other Asian
The sand is the main raw material for the glass production; thus the quality of the glass is related to the impurity of the sand. The main impurity which is found in natural sand is iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3), chromium (Cr 2 O 3) titanium (TiO 2) and volatile compound (LOI). [1], [2], [3], [4].However, the quality of sand depends on the glass products.
Due to population growth and industrial development, waste generation has increased annually over the last few years. According to a World Bank report, in 2018, about 2.01 billion tons of municipal solid waste were generated, and this amount was predicted to grow to 3.40 billion tons by 2050 (Kaza et al 2018). Waste glass (WG) is …

Glass Health was founded because we believe that technology should be fully leveraged to optimize the practice of medicine and improve patient care. To this end, we have set out to empower clinicians with the best-in-class AI for clinical decision support. With a deep commitment to safety, ethics, and alignment, we aim to increase diagnostic accuracy, …
The utilization of waste materials in concrete production can provide potential technical and environmental benefits. In this study, the incorporation of recycled waste glass and olive stone ...
One ton of recycled glass replaces 1.2 tons of sand and other raw materials.Glass is a permanent material, endlessly recycled in a closed-loop and therefore the main resource of its own production. Today on average, in the production batch we put 52% of recycled glass, avoiding the depletion of more than 7 million tons of sand …
results of a study of selected case studies residential buildings in New Zealand. The focus is on evaluating the silica sand (commonly used for the manufacture of glass) content of each example in order to determine and quantify the reliance on glass, and start setting parameters for designing for a future with less glass.
The assessment station with the highest total cover in the present study only had 57% HCC and 12% soft coral cover (weighted average is 3.2% ±0.6 SE nationally). This updated study validates A.M. Licuanan et al. (2017) and emphasizes the marked decline in the HCC of Philippine reefs over the last four decades.
Sand is the second-most exploited natural resource. Soaring demand for construction means sand mining is impacting the environment and needs regulating. ... In Singapore, for instance, recycled glass waste is being used instead of sand in 3D-printed concrete. The UNEP report outlines 10 recommendations for averting a sand crisis, …
In this study, recycled materials, oyster shells sand is used to replace the river sand (0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%) at fixed water-cement ratio 0.485 and six weight replacement ratio.
This study was anchored on the study entitled "Rainwater Harvesting as a Drinking Water Option for Mexico City" by Gispert et al [19] to construct a better and more economical rainwater harves ...
This research aims to study the management of and implementation of occupational health and safety issues associated with stone quarry work in selected quarries in Akamkpa, Cross River State Nigeria.
Fortunately, the glass recycling technology allows to retain the main glass properties using the waste glass as a secondary raw material and saving natural resources [1][2][3][4].
