Abstract: Glass powder can be used to substitute cement to some level in concrete, which helps to increase strength, according to research on the impacts of doing so. Glass powder was used to substitute cement in various amounts, such as 10%, 20%, and 30%, and multiple concrete cylinders were made beside specimens of plain concrete. At ages 7, 14, and 28 days, the cylinders were evaluated for compressive strength and split tensile strength, and the findings were contrasted with those of ordinary concrete. The overall test results showed that waste glass powder could be used as a good cement substitute in concrete up to 75 microns or less in particle size.
