Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop gather data on the rheological and mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) containing varying percentages of waste glass aggregate (WGA). In this current experiment, the coarse aggregate was substituted by adding WGA, with replacement percentages of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% by weight being investigated. The rheological properties of SCC were performed to explore the consequence of WGA using various methods, including the J-ring, slump flow, L-box, and V-funnel. In contrast, the compressive, flexural, modulus of elasticity, and stress-strain responses of hardened concrete were assessed in this study. The results of the fresh concrete tests revealed that the substitution of an optimal level of waste glass in SCC provides adequate implementation in flowability, passing ability, and viscosity behaviors. Besides, hardened characteristics were shown to have a steady decrease in strength with increasing WGA content in the concrete mixtures.
