Abstrakt: Waste foil aluminium from water glass covers is one of the most common non-biodegradable solid wastes generated by human water consumption. An important issue that has a negative impact on ecosystems is solid waste generation due to its difficulty in recycling and the limitations of reusing. It's important to note that aluminium foil trash has a negative environmental impact. This study aims to assess the effects of partially substituting waste foil aluminium from water glass covers as fine aggregate in mortar. The influence of this substance on concrete's fresh, mechanical, and thermal conductivity qualities was examined. A total of six mortar mixtures were prepared to utilize waste foil aluminium as a partial replacement of river sand at various percentages of 0%, 1.50%, 2.50%, 3.50%, 4.50%, and 5%. The parameters of fresh and hardened concrete's slump, dry and fresh unit weight, thermal conductivity and compressive strength were measured. A drop in unit weight and compressive strength was observed as the replacement amount increased in the studies. The mix's thermal conductivity was reduced by 28.45 % due to the inclusion of 4.5% waste foil aluminium, which met the structural lower strength requirement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
