Biocemented recycled glass columns: Green technology for ground improvement

该项目旨在开发一种使用生物胶结再生玻璃柱内含物的绿色地面改善技术。该项目期望通过实验、数值方法和现场试验，产生关于新型生物胶合玻璃废料在用作地面夹杂物时的性能的新知识，以改善受交通荷载影响的问题土壤的工程特性。预期结果包括通过实验评估生物胶凝回收玻璃的性能，建立本构模型，开发数值工具以及与工业界建立持久的合作关系。好处包括废物从堆填区转移、减少温室气体排放和玻璃废物的商业应用。

This project aims to develop a green ground improvement technology using biocemented recycled glass column inclusions. This project expects to generate new knowledge on the performance of novel biocemented glass wastes when used as ground inclusions to improve the engineering properties of problematic soils subjected to traffic loads, through experimental, numerical approaches and field trials. Expected outcomes include evaluating the performance of biocemented recycled glass via experiments, establishing constitutive models, developing numerical tools and building enduring collaborations with industry. Benefits include diversion of wastes from landfills, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and commercial applications of glass wastes.
