Abstract
Abstract Disposal of waste glass derived from bundling glass, beverage bottles, and so forth is one of the significant issues in the environment. This challenge keeps on expanding with increment the measure of waste glass and reduction the limit of landfill space. Hence, studies have been carried out to locate the handy approaches to reuse waste glass in building material, for example, cement, mortar, and concrete. In this study impact of waste glass powder (WGP) as cement substitution material on the green and mechanical properties of concrete were explored. The properties of concrete researched incorporate, Density, workability, strength activity index and compressive strength. Results from the investigation demonstrate that utilization of 20% WGP in concrete cube substitute to cement increase strength around to 12.5%. Additionally, usage of WGP up to 20% improves the properties of concrete. However, the workability of concrete reduced on the substitution of WGP increases because of the fine surface area of waste glass powder.
