Original Abstract

Recently, the use of a variety of recycled materials is a live issue. A whole range of different materials, from recycled materials from the rubble to the materials industrially produced from waste is available and used. This contribution is dedicated to the development of floor screeds with aggregates of expanded waste glass. The aggregate is usually spherical in shape and it is therefore very suitable for use in concrete, materials on silicate basis and other composites. Other important properties of aggregates of expanded glass are low density, excellent thermal insulation, good sound absorption, high resistance to pressure, etc. The aggregate of expanded glass was proved to be a suitable substitute for the classical aggregate in lightweight floor screeds.
