Effects of Waste Glass Powder on Properties of Self-Compacting Repair Mortars

Abstract:

This paper studies the effects of fine waste glass powder content (WGP) on fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting repair mortar mixes (SCRMs). For this purpose, mortar mixes were prepared to replace cement with waste glass powder ranging from 0 to 30% at 10% interval and tested. Fresh properties were assessed using mini-slump flow and mini V-funnel. Hardened properties assessed for all mixes were water absorption (at 28-days of age), compressive and flexural strengths (at 7, 28 and 56-days of age). In addition, the adhesion between the repair mortar mixes and substrate was conducted using a 3-point flexural test on a composite prism (half mortar/half substrate) at 28 and 56-days of age. The results showed that glass powder had a negative effect on the workability of mortars. However, in the hardened state, it had a good influence on the strength development after 28 days, durability and adhesion of mortars with the substrate for a waste glass powder content not exceeding 20%.
