Abstract


This research investigated the influence of using chemically treated glass microparticles as a partial replacement for cement in Portland cement pastes and mortars. The microparticles were obtained by grinding glass waste into three different particle size fractions (< 75 µm, < 45 µm, and < 25 µm), treated with calcium hydroxide (CH), and characterized using SEM/EDS and a laser particle size analyzer. Samples prepared with the incorporation of glass were characterized using XRD, TGA/DTG, and SEM/EDS. The pretreatment with calcium hydroxide induced the formation of C-S-H with different morphologies on the surface of the particles, in addition to causing changes in particle size distribution due to the formation of agglomerates. The pastes prepared with treated particles had lower amounts of CH and higher levels of hydrated silicates. However, when indirectly measuring the pozzolanicity of treated particles through the compressive strength of mortars, no significant differences were observed in the strengths of mortars made with treated and untreated particles.
