Abstract - Concrete is a basic construction material. Being at the core of construction conventional concrete attracts many researchers toward itself. The main objective of researchers now a day is to increase the strength of conventional concrete and decrease the cost of conventional concrete by replacing cement with various industrial waste materials such as waste glass powder,fly ash ,ceramic waste , blast furnace slag , Polymers and rice husk ash etc .This study is mainly concentrated on the use of Glass waste and Rice husk ash in concrete and observe effect of it. The purpose of using the Glass powder to reduce cost and rice husk ash to increase binding property because its an pozzolanic material.

Key Words: Glass powder ,Rice Husk ash ,Workability ,Strength.
