| Abstract: | Key Facts • Australian produces 54 million tonnes of waste annually – 2.2 tonnes/person/year • Cairns Regional Council crushes 7 – 10 tonnes of glass each operational day • Three different concrete mixes containing different proportions of recycled crushed glass used to replace natural coarse sand (4 mm) were tested against a control • Strength and workability optimum for 40% replacement. Negligible reduction in strength • Total glass used in trial was 8.46 tonnes in 108 m of 2 m wide concrete footpath • Significant economic savings |
