Abstract
Lightweight fill materials, including foamed aggregates are increasingly being used in civil engineering and infrastructure applications. This research assessed the engineering properties of foamed recycled glass through a laboratory evaluation to ascertain this novel recycled material as a lightweight fill material in civil engineering applications. The engineering assessment included particle size distribution, particle density, water absorption, minimum and maximum dry densities with a vibrating table, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Los Angeles (LA) abrasion tests. Shear strength properties of the recycled foamed glass were studied through large-scale direct shear tests. This recycled..
