    Abstract: A method of making nanosilica from glass, the method comprising: gathering glass waste; grinding the glass waste to obtain a glass powder containing nanoparticles; adding the glass powder containing the nanoparticles to a water solution comprising a dispersing agent to obtain a colloidal system containing nanoparticles; separating the nanoparticles from the colloidal system to obtain separated nanoparticles; and drying the separated nanoparticles to obtain nanosilica.

    Abstract: The low cement content strain-hardening cementitious composite is cement with a natural pozzolan replacing a significant portion of the Portland cement therein. The strain-hardening cementitious composite includes a mixture of cement, fly ash, sand, a polycarboxylic ether-based superplasticizer, and reinforcing polyvinyl alcohol fibers. The mixture is formed with a low content of Portland cement (6-12 wt %) and with ground scoria as the natural pozzolan (5-20%). The sand forms at least 22 wt % of the strain-hardening cementitious composite and is preferably in the form of sieved dune sand, having a silicon dioxide concentration of between approximately 80 and 90 wt %, and a feldspar concentration of between approximately 10 and 20 wt %. The dune sand is sieved such that the sand grains have a median diameter of less than or equal to approximately 300 μm, and preferably have a median diameter of approximately 200 μm.
