As we knownow days, most of developing countries are facing shortage of post consumers waste disposal sites andthis has raised very serious problems. For this reason, regenerating and using waste product as resources and preventenvironmental pollutions is very essential. Here efforts are made for usage of waste glass in concrete. The objective of thiswork is to identify the usage of finely powdered glass as a partial replacement of cement to determine the pozzolanicreactivity of finely powdered glass in concrete. Different tests will be performed to examine the effect of 10%, 20% and 30%replacement of cement by powdered glass on mechanical and durability properties.Also Technology in Concrete has beendeveloping in many ways to enhance the quality and properties of concrete. Here study will also be condu cted to evaluate thepossibility of incorporating the natural banana fibers, which are abundantly available in India, as an additional admixturefor concrete mix design. The mechanical and durability aspect of the concrete, containing natural banana fibers 0.5%, 1%and 1.5% of cementitious content, will be evaluated in the course of this study.
