Exploring the potential reuse of glass bottles in structural columns: Investigating the Structural Behaviour of Glass Columns Containing Glass Bottles through FE-modelling and Physical testing

Very little research has been done on the potential use of glass bottles in a structural system. Knowledge gathered from past projects showed that individuals or communities usually tend to create structures with glass bottles with a cementitious material, which is usually concrete or mortar. Under vertical compressive loading, the corresponding...
