Abstract— Concrete is a widely used construction material. However, the production of Portland cement releases significant amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide), a greenhouse gas, One ton of Portland cement clinker production releases approximately one ton of CO2 and other gases, Environmental issues are playing essential role in the substantial development of concrete industry. Today many researches are ongoing for the replacement of Portland cement, using many substitutes like Metakaolin, Fly ash and GGBS. Along with these materials used as substitutes for cement, glass powder is used as a substitute for fine aggregate. Glass is a unique inert material that could be recycled many times without changing its chemical properties. Using glass in concrete is an interesting possibility for economy on wastage disposals. The inclusion of Metakaolin in glass concrete improves the workability and durability properties of concrete. Sheet glass aggregate used in concrete making leads to green environment. Using GP in concrete is an interesting possibility for economy on waste disposal sites and conservation of environment. This project examines the possibility of using GP as fine aggregate replacement in concrete. Natural sand was partially replaced (0%-40%) with GP and cement was partially replaced (0%- 30%) with Metakaolin in conventional concrete. Tensile strength and Flexural strength were compared for 28 days, Compressive strength for 7, 28 & 56 days were compared.
