This study looks into the possibilities of using lamp borosilicate glass powder as a cement replacing admixture in conventional concrete. Experimental work provides preparation of standard concrete samples and sample testing after seven and 28-day ageing periods in standard conditions. The following glass materials were used for cement replacement： rough ground glass powder, glass dust from filters （both materials were obtained from a glass treatment plant） and additionally ground glass powder. The effect of glass powder on cement setting time was studied. The experimental results indicate that replacement of cement by rough glass powder decreases the compressive strength. Fine glass particles make it possible to replace up to 20% of cement without the loss in strength characteristics. Fine glass powder offers a long-term hardening effect. The best compressive strength results were achieved by using the glass that was additionally ground for 60 minutes. Glass dust obtained from filters shows a less significant effect. Summarising the research findings it may be concluded that ground borosilicate lamp glass may be successfully applied as a micro-filler for concrete as cement replacing material.展开更多
