This paper studies the effects of fine waste glass powder content (WGP) on fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting repair mortar mixes (SCRMs). For this purpose, mortar mixes were prepared to replace cement with waste glass powder ranging from 0 to 30% at 10% interval and tested. Fresh properties were assessed using mini-slump flow and mini V-funnel. Hardened properties assessed for all mixes were water absorption (at 28-days of age), compressive and flexural strengths (at 7, 28 and 56-days of age). In addition, the adhesion between the repair mortar mixes and substrate was conducted using a 3-point flexural test on a composite prism (half mortar/half substrate) at 28 and 56-days of age. The results showed that glass powder had a negative effect on the workability of mortars. However, in the hardened state, it had a good influence on the strength development after 28 days, durability and adhesion of mortars with the substrate for a waste glass powder content not exceeding 20%.

This research aims to study the effect of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as quarry dust limestone (QDL) and natural pozzolana (NP) on the performance of fiber reinforced selfconsolidating repair mortars (FR-SCRMs). Based on previous optimization of QDL and NP replacement ratios, two mortar mixtures incorporating 10% QDL and 20% NP as cement replacements were prepared. The evaluation was based on both fresh (slump flow, flow time) and hardened (compressive and flexural strengths and adherence to old concrete) tests. In addition, the influence of three curing conditions, similar from those normally encountered in the field was evaluated on the compatibility between repair materials and substrate, under flexural strength test by using third-point's loading beam test method. It is demonstrated that the FR-SCRMs is promising to be used in repair concrete structures class R4 (EN 1504-3) without reducing the adhesive strength.
