Abstracts: This study aims at utilization of industrial by product for value added application. In addition the waste can improve the properties of construction materials. (Concrete is a construction material composed of cement, aggregates (fine and coarse aggregates) water and Admixtures. Today many researches are ongoing into the use of Portland cement replacements, using many waste materials like pulverized fly ash (PFA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). Like PFA and GGBS a waste glass powder (GLP) is also used as a binder with partial replacement of cement which take some part of reaction at the time of hydration, also it is act as a filler material. The recycled glass has been used in the form of powder. The experimental study on glass powder do with concrete and mortar. Cement is replace by the glass powder in the proportion of 5%, 10% and 15%, 20%. The compressive strength, split tensile strength, consistency and flexural strength are conduct for the above replacements. The advantages of this project are that the replacement of glass powder is economically cheap as well as a superior concrete can be made.
