Abstract: The study provides details regarding exploratory examination on the suitability of squashed glass as partially replaced for fine total in solid generation. The control blending proportion of 1: 1.5: 3 grouped by volume with water – bond proportion of 0.5 were utilized. The rate substitution differed from 0% to 40% at an interim of 10%. The slump test was utilized to survey the workability of the fresh concrete. The compressive qualities of cured solid 3D shapes of sizes 150mm x 150mm x 150mm were assessed at 3days, 7days, 28 days, 56 days, and 90 days. The split tensile strength of concrete cube of size 150mm diameter and 300mm length were evaluated at age of curing 28 days. To obtain the test results the workability is increased, compressive strength is increased up to 20% replacement level and at 30%, 40% replacement level it goes to decreasing, and Split tensile strength is slightly decreasing as compared to normal concrete.
