The objective of this work is to develop a new composite material by substituting sand with recycled waste glass (RWG). Different volume percentages of RWG varying from 0 to 50% were incorporated into concrete, with maximum size that did not exceed 1.25 mm. The microscopic characterization by scanning electron microscopy SEM-EDS and optical microscopic test, as well as the durability against alkali silica reaction (ASR) test, were performed respectively to visualize the morphology and assess the damage caused by ASR. Furthermore, the mechanical and thermophysical properties measurements were carried out. The results of microscopic characterization showed the presence of cracks inside a minority of glass particles due to ASR, and ASR test indicated that expansion activity remained well below the limit expansion value of 0.15%. The obtained results also showed that, at 28 and 90 days of curing, compressive strength increased respectively by up to 1.63% and 29% for 20% of the incorporated RWG volume rate in concrete; however, beyond this rate it diminished receptively by 30% and 3.2%. This improvement with curing age was attributed to pozzolanic reaction. Regarding density, it reduced by around 5%. Furthermore, thermal conductivity and thermal effusivity decreased respectively by 36% and 8.06% at dry state and they dropped respectively by 44% and 21.28% at saturated state, related to reference concrete RC. It is therefore feasible to substitute high amount of natural sand with RWG to obtain new composite that may be successfully used as structural material in construction building.
