###### Abstract
In [10], the authors also used waste glass in partial replacement for OPC to control expansion and found that clear glass increased the expansion while green and brown decreased the expansion due to alkali silica reactivity (ASR). Moreover, [11] asserted that using glass waste as fine aggregate reduces the flowability and density of the mortar but not the drying shrinkage and air content. [PERSON] et al. [1] identified the contribution of size of glass powder to the fluidity, strength and microstructural performances of the resultant mortars. In [12], the authors also established that a size lower than 25 microns would result in higher pozzolanic reactivity. However, this study was restricted to only mortar samples without considering equivalent concrete characteristics. [PERSON] et al. [13] correlated prolonged setting, workability (flowability) and the early hydration process to the quantity of waste powder [13], and [PERSON] and [PERSON] maintained that the inclusion of glass powder decreases the rheology of the mixture by increasing the plastic viscosity of mortar while the rate of structural build-up decreased from 0.118 to 0.013 Pa/s [14]. In [15], the authors used glass waste as fine and coarse aggregates and asserted that sample levels lower than 25% could be used without any significant disintegration in strength, but neither microstructural analysis nor mineral phase identification were studied. In [16], the authors also used a cathode ray tube as fine aggregate, and the result showed that concrete at more than 45 MPa with a better expansion of less than 0.1% could be achieved. In [7], the authors reported a decrease in the mechanical strengths (tensile and flexural) and fracture parameters due to replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with glass waste at 3-20 wt.% of cement. The presence of glass reduces early strength development in mortar and concrete with a water-binder ratio of 0.53 [17]. The presence of glass could protect against the early formation of C-S-H gel [3]. In [18], the authors reported that glass fume (GF) nanoparticles similar in characteristics to silica fume (SF) can be developed by using radio frequency induction coupled-plasma spheroidization technology. The material underwent pozzolanic reaction with portlandite, thereby increasing early age performance and strength development that influenced long-term mortar characteristics. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [19] also reported the contribution of glass waste to later time hydration reaction, microstructural refinement and non-evaporable water content. Moreover, the concrete blocks produced from the waste glass cullet enhanced the fresh properties and displayed high resistance to acidic attack, thermal exposure and drying shrinkage and possessed low water absorption mainly due to the non-absorbent nature of glass, thereby enhancing its durability advantage [16; 20]. In [7], the authors found that borosilicate glass powder decreased the fracture toughness, modulus of elasticity and fracture energy except for the partial substitution of OPC, which was less than 10%. [PERSON] [21] reported the potency of glass reactivity and pozzolanicity in the formation of a calcium-dominated rim due to the formation of C-S-H by using pore solutions. The formation of this secondary product leads to the proliferation of aluminum and sodium, which causes the prevention of formation of dissolved silica from the aggregate. In [22], the authors also reported a reduction in thermal conductivity and sorptivity when nano-silica and brown soda-lime waste glass powder were used as fine aggregate in cement mortar [22]. Recycled cathode ray tube glass was also used as fine aggregate to improve the workability and shrinkage performance of mortar [23; 24]. Crack and corrosion reduction were among the other advantages of using glass as aggregates in mortar [25].
