| Abstract | ||
| The most important environmental constraints at the present time is the accumulation of glass waste (transparent glass bottles). A lot of experiments and research have been made on waste and recycling glass to get use it as much as possible. This research using recyclingof locally waste colorless glass to turn them into raw materials as alternative of certain percentages of cement to save the environment from glass waste and reduce some of the disadvantages of cement with conserving the mechanical and physical properties of concrete made.A set of required samples were prepared for mechanical test with different weight percentage of waste glass(2%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 15%, 20% and25%). American standard for calibration (ASTM C109 / C109M-02) to measure the compressive strength where the results showed that the Maximum compressive strength wasobtained at the low weight percentage replacement 2%, 4% and 5% 6% which is 67.12, 69.24, 62.56 and59.96 Mpa respectively. for originally mix recorded bending resistance (54.16) Mpa. | ||
