Slump of fresh recycled glass concrete with different content
of (a) recycled mixed colour glass and (b) recycled LCD glass as fine
aggregate. W/C = water/cement ratio. Adapted from Mukesh (2009)
and Wang (2009a).
smooth surface and better fill-ability of glass powder (Wang and Huang,
2010a). Taha and nounu (2008a)
found that the presence of glass powder
can also lead to increase in slump of fresh concrete whether it contains glass
aggregate or not.
