Abstract:
The use of glass residue has been researched in order to minimize the impacts generated by it. In view of this, it is possible to identify significant advances in the use of glass residue in cement matrixes, favoring the sustainable destination of the waste and reducing the consumption of cement, due to its partial replacement. Results of the use of the glass residue with mass substitution in fractions of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% in relation to the cement in the multiple-use mortars were presented. For the mortars produced, the consistency index, incorporated air content, density and water retention were evaluated. In view of the results, it can be concluded that the use of the residue as an addition in mortars, provided results that kept proportional the amount of water and that of added residue and that the increase of the incorporated air content consequently reduces the specific mass
