Abstract
The study entitled “Utilization of Recycled Crushed Glass As An Effective Raw Material For Concrete Blocks” was accomplished to tackle the feasibility of developing concrete blocks having a recycled crushed as an additive by conducting a survey on civil engineers and construction workers about their thoughts and opinions regarding the developed concrete blocks containing recycled crushed glass. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of recycled crushed glass as an effective raw material in the production of concrete blocks. This study employed the descriptive and experimental research design of quantitative study in order to test the expected results of the study if it determined the characteristics of the concrete blocks having recycled crushed glass as an additive. This research also identified the beneficiaries that may allow them to explore the research study to meet their needs. The researchers aimed to determine the properties of a glass that makes it fit as an additive in a concrete block; acceptability of utilization of concrete blocks having crushed glass as an additive in terms of strength, water absorption capacity, and sustainability; the significant difference between the acceptability of concrete blocks with recycled crushed glass in terms of strength and sustainability; and the benefits of concrete blocks with recycled crushed glass. The researchers utilized the use of survey questionnaires to gather data which are significant to come up with the final results and finish the study. Moreover, the researcher selected 15 civil engineers and 15 construction workers to accurately express their thoughts and opinions in answering the survey questionnaire regarding the quality of the concrete blocks that are made of recycled crushed glass. In the end of the study, the researchers were able to develop a sturdy, with good results in water absorption capacity, durable, and sustainable concrete block containing crushed glass that engages the targeted users to building structures, conserve natural resources, and healthy environment. The research study recommended placing a smaller amount of mixing water and changes in the structure depending on the availability of resources and tools to achieve the positive effect and improvement.
