Every year, millions of tons of waste glass are disposed of into landfills without being repurposed. It is common knowledge that waste glass is a recyclable material, so this is disconcerting. One way to repurpose waste glass without reusing it in the production of glass items is to mix concrete with glass as aggregate replacement. This project evaluated the performance of concrete with the addition of waste glass as a fine aggregate and Class C fly ash as a supplementary cementitious material. Test batches of concrete were mixed based on currently used concrete mixes from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and Prairie Material concrete provider to test the performance of concrete regarding workability, expansion, and strength. Test data showed that good workability can be achieved with the proportions of waste glass and fly ash used. Additionally, expansion was proven to not be an issue of concern for failure. Lastly, the introduction of waste glass and fly ash did not adversely affect the strength of concrete enough to eliminate it as a viable option for structural applications. The test batches of concrete performed well above the specified strength they were mixed for and the test batches mixed from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's design actually outperformed the control mix. More research could be done on the freeze-thaw effects of concrete with waste glass, water-cementitious material ratio, and using Class C fly ash versus Class F fly ash to control expansion of the concrete.
