A concrete composition contain glass, including ordinary recycled glass is provided. The invention also relates to methods of producing the concrete compositions of the invention. A concrete composition containing glass particles, including recycled glass, a substance to mitigate alkali-silica reaction such as E-glass particles, and or pozzolans and/or lithium-containing substances, and cement is provided as well. Compositions containing E-glass (also known as electric glass) and processes for producing E-glass-containing compositions are also provided.

Concrete composition

Lithium glass capable of minimizing the effects of alkali silica reaction in concrete. The lithium glass includes a glass forming oxide; lithium oxide; and optionally a glass network modifying oxide. The lithium glass can be also essentially free of sodium or potassium ions.

Cements including lithium glass compositions

The invention relates to concrete compositions with improved characteristics which contain glass, including ordinary recycled glass. The invention also relates to methods of producing the concrete compositions of the invention. In particular, the invention relates to a cement composition containing glass particles, including recycled glass, a substance to mitigate alkali-silica reaction such as lithium-containing glass, and cement. The compositions provided exhibiting improved characteristics and are particularly useful for applications such as forming surfaces adjacent to swimming pools. The present invention also relates to compositions containing E-glass (also known as electric glass). Such compositions are particularly useful as pool plasters for finishing surfaces associated with swimming pool construction. The present invention also relates to processes for producing E-glass-containing compositions.
