Abstract Self-compacting concrete is a high performance concrete that can flow under its own weight to completely fill the form work and self-consolidates without any mechanical vibration. This work summarizes the utilization of glass powder addition on the concrete as to relieve the provision, affordability, strength and contamination issues. In this paper the experimental study were done on the M20 grade of SCC specimens were casted, arranged with addition of four different proportions weight (0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, and 1.2%) of glasspowder with water cement ratio of 0.45. Prism-100*100*500 mm and cylinder-150*300 mm were prepared for testing after 28 days natural process in water served as the control. Slump cone, L-Box, U-Box, V-Funnel and J-Ring tests were performed to determine the properties of fresh concrete on both r-sand and m-sand. The fresh concrete tests are done for self-compacting concrete to know the flow and workability of the concrete. The properties of hardened concrete tests on both river sand and manufacturing sand can also experimented by conducting the flexural strength and split tensile strength test. The tests are conducted after 28 days age of curing. The tests results show the workability and characteristics of concrete.
