Abstract
Engineering properties of waste glass is evaluated and discussed in this paper. Firstly, the basic properties of a waste glass were examined by performing the physical properties test as well as pH test. Secondly, the deformation and strength of waste glass were measured by bender element test, direct shear test and triaxial cyclic loading test. Finally, consolidation test was carried out to examine the effect of evaluate waste glass content to improve the compressibility of a silty soil. Based on the results of these laboratory tests, a practical implication is posed how we possibly improve the properties of waste glass fragment in use for geotechnical engineering works.
