The two professors in Materials Engineering at the University of Technology, Assist. Prof. Dr Asseel Bassem Abdel Hussein and Assist. Prof. Dr. Kazem Matar Shabib, published a joint scientific paper entitled "Study of the Effect of Glass Waste on the Mechanical Properties of Green Concrete" in Science Direct, Global Elesiver number 119 page (680-692) for the year 2017.
The study examined the recycling of glass waste of various industrial types after preparation, grinding and partial replacement of concrete with different concentrations and different periods. Mechanical tests showed compression results and a strong strength of 13% concentration. Recycling glass wastes reduces carbon dioxide and produces environmentally friendly materials.The Department of Chemical Engineering holds a scientific symposium about Ph. D. study.
