The article explores using recycled waste float glass in structural beams through the glass casting method. The researchers aim to improve glass recycling beyond just bottles by focusing on structural applications. They experiment with coated float glass to determine its mechanical properties like Young's modulus and fracture strength. The results show that recycled glass can be used in structural beams, opening up possibilities for sustainable construction materials.
