The waste glass powder may be replaced partially to the cement in the concrete and may investigate its strength and other characteristics of the concrete. Disposal of waste glass is one of the problematic issues. Different methods are used in disposal of waste and unusable glasses. But they are not much effective. One of the disposing or reusing of glass is grinding it into a respective range of size and used, instead of cement on concrete for the construction purposes. Here the glass is powdered to the size of 90 micron, Because of presence of silica content on the glass, it shows some pozzolanic properties, when it is powdered. The glass powder is mixed at different proportions instead of cement at 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of range. This experimentation carried out for wide range of curing ages 7 and 28 days. It observes that the glass powder contributes much in increasing the strength properties of the concrete.
