In the 1940's, potential of glass as a construction material was realized and improvement continued with the addition of zirconium dioxide in 1960's for harsh alkali conditions. To enhance durability of materials, new generation of glass fibres directed to improvement process. In this way, glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) was started to produce for the satisfaction of different demands. Scientific studies and tests on the GFRC have shown that the physical and mechanical properties of the GFRC change depending on the quality of the materials and the accuracy of the production methods. GFRC can be used wherever a light, strong, fire resistant, weather resistant, attractive, impermeable material is needed. As technology advances, it is possibly expected to build the whole building and complex freeform with low cost. In recent years, the effect of glass fibres in hybrid mixtures has been investigated for high-performance concrete (HPC), an emerging technology termed, which has become popular in the construction industry.

“…The use of glass for concretes is a known process, and depending on the form in which it is used, several directions of such activity can be distinguished. The first is the use of glass fibers [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Glass fibers that are produced specially for this purpose improve the strength parameters of composites, and make them less sensitive to atmospheric factors such as moisture, insolation, or frost.…”

The paper presents an analysis of the possibility of using glass waste from worn out lighting materials as an aggregate for a polymer concrete. Glass waste was obtained from the company utilizing glass lighting elements, which was then subjected to crushing. The aggregate obtained was subjected to the tests of basic features, which were compared with aggregates that are traditionally applied to concretes. The next stage of the research program was the production of a polymer concrete that contained glass aggregate. Several types of mixtures were prepared in which glass waste was combined in various proportions with traditional sand–gravel aggregate. As a part of the research, the basic physical and mechanical characteristics of polymer concretes were determined. The microstructure of composites was also analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. The results of the research have shown that the aggregate obtained from glass waste can be successfully used for the production of a polymer concrete. The most beneficial physico-mechanical properties were obtained for a composite in which glass waste was used as a 50% substitute for traditional aggregate.

The paper presents preliminary analyzes of the possibilities of using glass waste from extruded fluorescent lamps as aggregates for cement concretes. The research material was obtained from a company that utilizes electrical waste. Glass from pre-sorted lighting elements was transported to the laboratory and crushed in a steel mortar. In this way, the aggregate obtained was subjected to the basic tests that are carried out for aggregates traditionally used in construction. The specific density of aggregate, bulk density, absorbability, grain shape and texture type were examined. In the next stage of research work, a concrete mix was made, in which, as a substitute for 25% gravel aggregate, crushed aggregate from crushed fluorescent lamps was used. The compressive and tensile strength of the concrete thus formed was tested. Analysis of the test results showed that broken glass from worn out fluorescent lamps can potentially be used as an aggregate for cement concrete.
