Abstract - The many forms of industrial garbage produce huge amounts of solid trash annually. Only a small fraction of this garbage is really recycled before it ends up in open landfills. There are a number of environmental problems caused by this solid waste that has not been handled. One possible solution to the solid waste management issue might be the production of concrete from such industrial trash. With these advantages in mind, we are investigating potential substitutes for traditional concrete materials. The goal of this research is to find ways to use industrial waste in concrete, namely granite and glass powders, instead of traditional building materials like sand and cement. Powdered granite (WGP) collected from granite processing factories and glass (GP) collected from broken or broken bottles, jars, and windows in laboratories. The ideal proportions of fly ash (FS) and marble powder (MP) were used into glass granite concrete to achieve cost-effective and environmentally friendly concrete manufacturing. This study's experimental portion is divided into two primary parts. Part one of the study looked at how well WGP and GP-added concrete worked. As a substitute for cement, GP was added in increments of 5% up to 15%, while WGP was added at 0%, 10%, 20% and 30%by weight of sand. In the second phase of the study, researchers looked various blended mixtures with varying proportions of GP and WGP to determine the appropriate percentage of FS and MP. The binder was a set amount of FS (20%) and the filler was 10% MP. Although OPC was the focus of the experiments, PPC is now cement's most popular choice. As a result, we have tested fly ash. Basically, we were interested in learning how this optimal percentage affects the fly ash. A slump test of workability was conducted to investigate the new concrete's qualities. All of the mixtures were tested for mechanical performance by measuring their density, flexural strength, compressive strength, and splitting tensile strength.
