Waste Glass and Rice Husk Concrete Properties by Silicon-to-Calcium Ratio

A study by Jiayuan Lou investigates the synergistic use of silicon-rich solid wastes in low-carbon concrete. The dataset, last updated in April 2026, contains results on workability, mechanical properties, and durability of Waste Glass and Rice Husk Concrete (WGRC) across varying silicon-to-calcium (Si/Ca) ratios, supported by microstructural analysis.

Use Cases

• Modeling the nonlinear shear damage response of concrete based on the developed constitutive model and varying Si/Ca ratios.
• Predicting optimal concrete strength based on the identified Si/Ca ratio range of 0.46 to 0.58.
• Analyzing durability performance, such as resistance to water penetration and sulfate attack, based on Si/Ca ratios from 0.52 to 0.58.
• Investigating carbonation resistance in concrete based on the Si/Ca ratio that maximized this property.

Strengths

• Includes specific performance metrics, such as a 0.54% mass loss rate after 180 drying-wetting cycles and a 2.6% ultrasonic velocity reduction.
• Defines an optimal Si/Ca ratio range (0.46–0.58) for overall concrete strength.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
