Impact response of cementitious composites incorporating waste glass and untreated PVA fibers

Significant amount of literature studies revealed possible opportunities to recycle waste glass (WG) in concrete construction as a filler material or as a cement substitution. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility silica sand replacement by fine waste glass (WG), partially or complete...
