Abstract Waste management is becoming a major issue for community worldwide. Glass being non-bio degradable is not suitable for additional to land fill, and as such recycling opportunities need to be investigated .due to the high material consumption of the construction industry. The utilization of waste glass has a partial replacement for fine aggregate in structural concrete is particularly attractive. To attain the set out objectives of the present investigation, sand has been replaced with glass powder by 10,20 and 30% and palm kernel shell fiber by 5,10 and 15% produce concrete respectively. The concrete specimen tested for compressive, split tension and flexural strength. The concrete are three concrete samples were tested at 7, 14 and 28 days. Keywords: Glass Powder, Compressive Strength, Split Tensile &Flexural Strength, Palm Kernel Shell Fiber ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I.

INTRODUCTION

The most widely used fine aggregate for making of concrete natural sand from riverbed. However, the availability of river sand for preparation of concrete is becoming method of mining from the riverbeds, towering water table. There has been so much demand on construction material in many countries around the world. Concurrently with the rapid expansion of construction activities housing and other building at the same time the rise cost of production with very serious shortage on construction material that will play a critical role in long term fixture. The discovery of the alternative of conventional building material that is cheaper and accessible became highly critical issue. In India 0.7% of total urban waste generated comprises of glass. The waste glass is crushed in to specified size for use as aggregate in various applications such as filtration replacement in concrete. Fine glass powder for incorporation into concrete up 30% as a pozzolanic material. Fine aggregate were partially replaced by waste glass powder as 10, 20 and 30% and palm kernel shell fiber 5,10 and 15% respectively. Palm kernel shell fiber (PKSA) has the potential to be used construction material. PKSA is the ash produced from husk fibre and shell of palm oil burning by generation plant boiler which generates energy to be used in palm kernel oil mill in order to extract palm oil. PKSA is found to have high pozzolans material and it can not only be used as partial cement replacement but also can increase the compressive strength and durability of concrete. The objectives of this paper present the result experimental investigation on physical and mechanical properties of concrete made glass powder. Compressive, split and flexural strength are evaluated and compared up to 28 days of ages.
