Original Abstract

The production of Portland cement is connected with high emissions of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, and the intensive consumption of energy and natural resources. The present trend is for the replacement of cement by reactive admixtures, which can include ground waste glass, a material which shows pozzolanic activity. This paper deals with the determination of the mechanical properties of cement pastes in which part of the cement mixture (5 to 30 %) was replaced by borosilicate glass. The process by which the hydration of the cement with ground glass began was monitored by an isothermal calorimeter.
