Funded Activity Summary

Maximising the Use of Waste Glass in Sustainable Composite Columns. This project aims to develop novel structural concrete made with over 80% waste glass for use in manufacturing sustainable concrete-filled steel tubular columns used in buildings. Because of limited established markets for recycled glass, significant stockpiling of recycled and recyclable waste glass currently exists across Australia. This study will provide a suite of novel solutions to maximise the use of waste glass in structural concrete by fully replacing sand and gravel with crushed glass and up to 72% cement with glass powder. This will provide practical solutions to address not only Australia's glass recycling crisis but also the worldwide issue of disposal of waste glass.
