Abstract
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.
