Abstract: 

The Ordinary Portland Cement ( OPC ) is one of the main ingredients used for the production of concrete. Unfortunately the production of cement involves emission of large amount of carbon dioxide gas into atmosphere , a major contributor for green house effect and the global warming , hence it is inevitable either to search for another material or partially replace it by some other material. The search of any other material which can be used as an alternative for cement should lead to global sustainable development and lowest possible environmental impact. Concrete property can be maintained with advance mineral admixtures such as fly ash or glass powder as partial replacement of cement 0 to 15%. Compressive strength of concrete with different amount of glass powder and bagasse was studied as partial replacement of cement. From the experimental investigations, it has been absorbed that, the optimum replacement of glass powder and bagasse to cement without changing much compressive strength is 10%. Use of glass powder and bagasse in concrete imparts several environmental benefits and thus it is eco-friendly. It saves the cement requirement for the same strength thus saving of raw materials such as lime stone coal etc. required for manufacture of cement. Bagasse is pozolanic material and it improving the properties of concrete like compressive strength and durability
