Özet

In our study, in which waste glass (WG) is considered as coarse aggregates in the concrete, WG was used reduced to 4-16 mm in proportions of 0-60% in the production of PKC/B 32.5/R type cement. The effects of WG on workability and strength of the concrete with fresh and hardened concrete tests were analyzed. As a result of the study conducted, WG was determined not to have a significant effect upon the workability of the concrete and only slightly in the reduction of its strength. Waste glass cannot be used as aggregate without taking into account its ASR properties. As for cost analysis, it was determined to lower the cost of concrete productions. Our study was an environmental one in consideration to the fact that WG could be used in the concrete as coarse aggregates without the need for a high cost or rigorous energy. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
