Abstract: A huge amount of concrete is consumed in the construction work. A good quality concrete is mixing of cement, fine and coarse aggregates, water and admixtures as needed to obtain an optimum quality and economy. In this study investigation were carried out on compressive strength, split tensile strength and water absorption of M-40 grade of concrete mixes with 20% constant replacement of waste glass powder in cement and partial replacement of waste foundry sand in fine aggregate. From the test results, strength are achieved very less on 7th and 14th das but it increases on the 28thday. High strength values found at 40% replacement level in strength parameters

Keywords: waste glass powder, waste foundry sand, eco-friendly, concrete mix
