In order to make concrete industry sustainable, the use of waste materials in place of scarce naturalresources is one of the best approaches. An enormous quantity of waste glass is generated all around the world. In India,0.7% of total urban waste generated comprises of glass. In this study, fine aggregates were partially replaced by wasteglass in different ratios (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) by weight for two different concrete grades (M-25 and M-30). Thefresh concrete was tested for workability and concrete specimens were subjected to various non-destructive& destructivetests after 28 days of curing, to assess the effect of this replacement on properties of concrete.From the results, it was found that the slump of concrete containing waste glass as fine aggregate replacementdecreased with increasing waste glass content with some loss of workability. The destructive and non- destructive testsrevealed an increase in concrete strength with 20% waste glass replacement compared to conventional concrete. Themixes with waste glass replacement showed a more consistent structure under ultrasonic pulse velocity assessment. Thestudy indicated that Waste glass can effectively be used as fine aggregate replacement (up to 20%) without loss ofstrength.
