Abstract
This work was designed to incorporate glass waste as partial replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete through optimization of its amount by assessment of mechanical and environmental performances. Fresh and hardened properties of glass waste concrete were evaluated and compared with the conventional concrete. Moreover, compressive strength was evaluated experimentally as well as analytically at different ages. While, environmental performance was evaluated with an assessment of CO2 footprint and volume utilization of raw materials for both types of concrete; conventional and glass waste concrete. Consequently, a sustainable concrete was selected that possesses high workability and mechanical performance, minimum CO2 footprint and least utilization of conventional natural raw materials. For optimization, corresponding values of designed parameters were translated into a framework for glass waste management by application of analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). Similar prioritization for all types of mixtures was achieved through proposed framework by applying such multi criteria decision making techniques. Proposed framework may further be used for adjusting the priority weights for each criterion according to the requirement as well as for extended evaluation of additional criteria.
