This study explores the potential of waste glass powder as a sustainable alternative to traditional cement in concrete production. The objectives include investigating the effect of waste glass powder as a partial replacement for cement, comparing the performance of conventional concrete with glass powder concrete, and understanding its impact on strength enhancement. The experimental methodology involves conducting tests on specimens at different curing periods and mix designs, following recommended guidelines and trial mixes. The materials used include glass powder, cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate, with mix designs based on M20 grade concrete specifications. The preparatory modules involve casting cubes using both conventional and glass powder concrete mixes, with varying percentages of glass powder as cement replacement (15%, 20%, and 25%). Tests conducted on cement properties include specific gravity, standard consistency, setting times, fineness, and soundness. Results indicate promising findings, with specific gravity values of tested materials falling within standard ranges and satisfactory properties observed for cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate. Notably, the compressive strength of glass powder concrete shows significant improvement over conventional concrete, with enhancements ranging from 10% to 20% depending on the percentage of glass powder used. These results suggest that waste glass powder can effectively enhance the strength and durability of concrete while reducing environmental impact through sustainable utilization of waste materials. This study contributes to the ongoing efforts towards sustainable construction practices by utilizing waste materials like glass powder as viable alternatives to traditional cement, thereby reducing environmental impact and promoting resource efficiency.
