DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT

The finish product which is concrete composed of cement, sand, gravel and 75% glass
replacement to sand. Glass was milled and sieved to be identical with the sand particle size that
helps contribute to the strength development of concrete. Its compressive strength compared to
the concrete with standard mixture has minimal difference and is likely a suitable substitute
concrete. This product is also economically advantageous for its lesser price from the standard
concrete which is only composed of the usual cement, sand and gravel.
Regarding to its environmental benefit, the concrete product is an effective way to reduce the
problem concerning the disposal of waste glass that is one of the major solid waste pollution in
the world. Waste glass as an aggregate component is an essential alternative to sand because
every metric ton (1000 kg) of waste glass recycled into new items saves 315 kilograms of carbon
dioxide from being released into the atmosphere during creation of new glass. Utilization of
waste glass for construction shall not only solve waste problems, but also provide a new resource
for construction purposes and usually reduces the water demand
It is applicable for concrete floor slabs on fill that only resist a minimum amount of
compressive force. Therefore this concrete product is highly-recommended for those private
individuals who want to lessen their financial cost for sand in their concrete floor slab
construction and will benefit the environment.
