Overview

Experimental trial evaluates strength and durability in self-compacting concrete using waste glass and silica fume, suggesting enhanced sustainability.

Key Points

  • The aim is to examine the impact of waste glass aggregate and silica fume on the properties of steel fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete.
  • Investigated varying percentages of WGA (0-60%) and SF (0-15%) in concrete mixtures.
  • Conducted tests on fresh, mechanical, and durability properties, including SEM analysis.
  • Developed GEP models based on WGA, SF, and durability indicators for predictive performance.
  • The optimum mixture (15% SF and 30% WGA) enhanced compressive, splitting-tensile, and flexural strength by 23.72%, 28.90%, and 16.50%, respectively.
  • Maintained surface water absorption below 7.81% and UPV values between 3532-3974 m/s.
  • Production costs and embodied CO₂ emissions decreased by 4.59% and 5.03% with 60% WGA and 15% SF.
