Glass constitutes a major component of solid waste in many of the developed and developing countries. It is therefore vital to examine and find various routes to exploit the inherent properties of glass in order to recycle this material in high-value and large volume applications. Recent interest in using this material in the construction as concrete components provides such means of doing so. However, it is vital to understand how this material will perform when used as an aggregate material, as filler, or as a cement component, in order for engineers to gain confidence in using this material in concrete. This paper examines some of the engineering and durability properties of concrete containing waste glass.
