This paper presents the results of a study conducted to evaluate the possibility of utilizing the Grounded GlassWaste (GGW), Granite Powder (GP) and Grounded Granite Powder (GGP) as a partial replacement of cement. Theinfluence of GGW, GP and GGP on the compressive strength of mortars was investigated. In addition, X-ray diffractionanalysis was performed, to evaluate the pozzolanic activity. The results show that the incorporation of the GGW and GPyields mortars with improved strengths at the later ages (28 and 91 days), in comparison with that of a control mortar(ordinary Portland cement only); while the GGW and GP caused lower early ages (3 and 7 days) strength than that ofcontrol. The density of the mortars can be reduced by incorporating GGW, GP and GGP. These results indicate that theGGW and GP have higher reactivity; and therefore, can be used as a pozzolanic admixture in cement composites.
