Theoretical Estimation of Young's Modulus for Concrete with Glass Powder.

This work compares three theoretical models with experimental results to identify the most accurate model for estimating the effective modulus of elasticity (Eeff) of eco-concrete made with glass powder. The models are Ruess-Voigt, mixture law, and Ishai and Cohen. Validation is based on scientific studies of this eco-concrete. The study concludes that glass powder can replace 20% of cement, with the Ruess-Voigt model being the most accurate. If glass powder replaces up to 30% of fine aggregates, both the Ruess-Voigt and mixture rule models are closely accurate. Keywords: Homogenization, Effective Elasticity Modulus, Glass Powder.
