Increase in population results in increase in usage of materials which cause much pollution to environmental surroundings if not disposed properly. Replacement of costlier building material by disposable waste material is one of best engineering practice in construction. In this paper replacement of cement using silica fume is done up to 20% and replacement of fine aggregate using glass powder is done up to 40% also silica fume and glass powder are replaced by 15% and 20%.compressive strength for replaced materials and conventional concrete is studied for 7thday and 28th day. From test result it is concluded that glass powder and silica fume is better effective replaceable materials which is cost effective and eco-friendly.
