GLASS WOOL WASTE AS CEMENT REPLACEMENT MATERIAL IN MORTAR

Research on Glass Wool Waste material is an experimental project to investigate the capability of this new material to replace cement content in mortar mixture. The project is conducted by processing the new material first before being used in the mortar mixture which involve burning and grinding process. The new material need to be analysed to determine the best choice of material condition to optimize the mortar performance based on chemical analysis. After the new material is prepared, mortar specimens with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% cement replacement are casted. Mechanical tests are conducted from time to time to determine which replacement percentage gives the best pozzolonic properties.
