ABSTRACT-The aim of study experimentally investigate the effect of partial replacement of cement by glass powder and egg shell
powder on the various strength and durability properties of concrete by using the mix design of M20 grade.when cement production
produces a large carbon dioxide and causes various effects in the atmosphere. In this program, the use of cement was used to reduce the
waste of parts in common applications. Here I replace the cement for its pressure strength of 7, 14 & 28 days compared to 0%, 20%,
30% & 40% and a stronger properties such as glass powder and egg shell powder. This compressive strength compared with the
conventional concrete. Comparative results will be taken through the cube test and absorption strength test.
