Original Abstract

This paper presents an innovative study on the partial replacement of lime binder with foam glass dust to explore a new application of this waste dust as a lime mortar additive. Standard air lime mortars and natural hydraulic lime (NHL) mortars were made by incorporating from 0% to 40% of foam glass dust in replacement to lime, and their mechanical performances, microstructure, and durability were determined. The waste foam glass dust showed an unusually high pozzolanic activity, predicting an improvement in the mechanical properties and durability of lime mortars. As the replacement level in air lime mortars increased, the performance properties of the mortars improved. The pozzolanic reaction of foam glass dust did not compensate for the loss of hydraulic binder in NHL mortars; therefore, these mortars have gradually lost their strength. The progress in mortars carbonation, as well as the pozzolanic reaction of foam glass dust, led to the formation of denser and more frost-resistant structure in air lime mortars, whereas the partial binder replacement in NHL mortars with foam glass dust had no significant effect on their frost resistance. The highly effective use of foam glass dust as a supplementary material was assessed to air lime mortars.
