Different waste materials have been used in the production of cement and concrete such as: blast furnace slag [30], clay [31], cathode ray tube waste [32], fly ash [33] and waste glass [34]. But, large quantities of the solid waste that can be used in the manufacture of cement and concrete are still discarded to landfills. Two billion tons of solid industrial waste, which can be used in the manufacture of cement and concrete, was sent to landfills in China in 2010 [19].
As shown in Table 2, the chemical composition of different colors and crushed waste glass shows that glass has a large quantity of silicon and calcium and with the amorphous structure; glass has the ability to be a pozzolanic or even a cementitious material. The nonbiodegradable structure of glass makes the discarding of this waste to landfills a bad solution, while the cement and concrete industry can provide an environmental friendly waste management for the glass waste.
Different studies have been made for the use of waste glass in cement and concrete industries. Some of these studies used waste glass as an aggregate [[35], [36] and [37]]; others used it as a cement replacement [[38], [39] and [40]] and some studies used it as aggregate and as a cement replacement in the same mixture [41].
