In this work, waste glass powder from broken windows and plastic fibers from waste polyethylene terephthalate bottles are utilized to produce an economical self-compact concrete. Fresh properties (slump flow diameter, slump Flow T50, V. Funnel, L–Box), mechanical properties (Compressive strength and Flexural strength) and impact resistance of self-compact concrete are investigated. 15% waste glass powder as a partial replacement of cement with five percentages of polyethylene terephthalate plastic waste were adopted: 0% (reference), 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.25% and 1.5% by volume. It seems that the flow ability of self-compact concrete decreases with the increasing of the amount of plastic fibers. The compressive strength was increased slightly with plastic fiber content up to (0.75%), about 4.6% For more than (0.75%) plastic fiber. The compressive strength began to decrease about 15.2%. The results showed an improvement in flexural strength and an impact on the resistance in all tested specimens’ content of the plastic fibers, especially at (1.5%) fibers.

A major problem in cement manufacturing is the increased emission of CO2. About 5% of worldwide man-made emission of CO2 is generated. Cement being the predominant material of concrete, the usage needs to be reduced by using admixtures or SCMs to replace partially, the percentage of OPC in concrete. Admixtures like Metakaolin (MK) and Waste Glass Powder (GP) were used to replace OPC, producing a ternary blended concrete. The cement replacement with GP is from 5% to 45% and MK is from 45% to 5% both in steps of 5% and hence a total of ten combinations including control mixture (100% cement) were studied for M30 grade. Mechanical properties are evaluated by conducting compressive, split tensile strength tests. The initial compressive strength of mix containing 20% GP and 30% MK with 50% OPC, after 7 days curing is found to be higher by 5%, compared with control mix.

Different particle size range of waste glass powder amount to replace part of the cement made to mortar specimens, which were soaked in 5% sodium sulfate solution and water after standard curing .Then determining its mechanics properties in various ages, observing and analysis of the micro structure of the section of the specimens by SEM, exploring the ability of mortar specimens made in different size and dosage of waste glass resist to sulfate. The results indicate: Along with the rising of the size and content of glass powder. The performance of mortar specimens resisting to sulfate were on the decline. When replacement amount was 10%, all kinds of particle size of waste glass mortar specimens are better than that of ordinary Portland cement on mechanical properties, When the glass powder size is less than 53μm, all kinds of mortar specimens with high content of waste glass are better than that of ordinary Portland cement on mechanical properties.
