Abstract

This thesis investigated the feasibility of using waste glass as a partial precursor and fine aggregate in alkali activated composites (AAC). Test results showed that the use of 10%-20% waste glass powder with fly ash improved the properties of AAC. Besides, glass cullet could be used to replace up to 100% natural sand in AAC to achieve acceptable performance. Therefore, the reuse of waste glass is considered a promising option helping conservation of natural resources.
