Characterization of incorporation the glass waste in adhesive mortar

Abstract

The search for reuse generated waste in urban centers, intending to preserve natural resources, has remained fairly constant, both in context of preventing exploitation of resources as the emplacement of waste on the environment. Glass waste glass created a serious environmental problem, mainly because of inconsistency of its flows. The use of this product as a mineral additive, finely ground, cement replacement and aggregate is a promising direction for recycling. This work aims to study the influence of glass waste from cutting process in adhesive mortar, replacing part of cement. The glass powder is used replacing Portland cement at 10, 15 and 20% by mass. The produced mortars will be evaluated its performance in fresh and hardened states through tests performed in laboratory. The selected feature is indicated by producers of additive and researchers to present good results when used as adhesive mortar.
