The effect of using crushed glass waste in asphalt mixtures and their utilization in Supporting traffic guidelines in modern cities Implementation of the facilities of Taif University

Abstract:

Recycling glass waste is one of the main pillars of the sustainability process, as industries that serve people, whether they are metal, concrete, plastic, wood or even glass. Etc., it will eventually turn into waste that must be disposed of, and the best solution to deal with these crushed glass waste is to recycle them and use them again as raw materials or as improvements so that the depletion of natural resources for raw materials is reduced and the spaces consumed as waste dumps are reduced.

Among these is the remnants of crushed glass, which is widely used in various fields, and its disposal is considered an environmental problem because it is a non-degradable and non-combustible material.

Research has begun in many countries of the world on the use of crushed glass waste, as it was used in road construction works as compensation for rubble in the hot asphalt mixture in a manner that guarantees a sustainable management process for glass waste.

The researchers were able to manufacture models of glassy asphalt from the raw materials used in the manufacture of hot asphalt mixtures

This research aims to study the effect of using crushed glass waste in the bonding asphalt layer on the properties of Marshall hot asphalt mixtures and how to benefit from them in supporting traffic instructions in implementation of the facilities of Taif University.

The research also recommends expanding the use of glass asphalt in traffic guidance systems and guidance systems for residential and tourist complexes of a contemporary architectural nature.
