Abstract
In line with the development in the construction sectorand continuous needformany of concrete structures that meet the need of continuous populationincrease in Iraq. It became necessary to think in concrete constructiontobe more economical through the use of alternative raw materials in concrete production. Also ithelpstorid of materials that cause environmental problems.The firstobjective of this paper is to produce concrete less expensive. Second, reduce pollution of the environment in terms of usinga type of glass which cannot be recycled in other industries.This type of glass will be usedas a raw material in the concrete productioninstead of cement or sand by specific rates.Research results were carrying a good indicator about compressive strength when using a glass powder instead of cement; especially when the glass was grinding at a more time. When the compensation ratio instead of cement was 20%, and using glass was grinding by 16 hour; the results werea good. They were(31.99, 44.9, 51.64) MPa in age (7, 28, 56) respectively, compared with standard samples which were (22.4, 36.51, 43.2)MPa
