Abstract
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is a construction material with a large range of applications. In order to generate more sustainable materials, the possibility of the incorporation of by-products and left-over-materials from various processes is investigated. The focus of this research is the application of glass powder which is generated as a by-product from municipal waste glass recycling. This waste glass fraction is particularly suitable for incorporation in AAC due to its finess and high content of glassy silica with a high reactivity.
The glass has an influence on the AAC fabrication by reducing the initial water amount and improving the final strength. The substitution amount is limited by an increased shrinkage.
