Cement manufacturing industries are one of the industries that are affecting the environment by contributing to a total of 8% of greenhouse gas emissions to the Earth’s surface. Carbon dioxide is the main emitting source that contributes about 65% of global warming, among them. Consequently, the river sand in some regions of our nation which is being used as fine aggregate is an expensive investment and its leading to a shortage on the earth’s surface. To overcome these problems, the waste materials have been partially replaced in the construction field is being carried. This study is about the usage of finely grounded glass waste in concrete as replacement material to cement in of 5, 10, 15 and 20%, and manufactured sand had been used as fine aggregate fully. Compressive and Split Tensile strength tests for the hard-bitten concrete were done at the time period intervals of (7–14–28) days. At 15% of adding waste glass into the concrete mix by replacing the cement and complete usage of M-Sand instead of river sand is noted as a high asset. Glass powder of the size of less than 90 µm is used throughout this experiment to prevent the alkali-silica reaction. Hence, by outcome results, it is observed that the WGP can be used as partial replacement material to cement and M-sand can be used as a fine aggregate.
