Abstract: Aggregate mining is an activity that cause ecological imbalance and adverse impact to the environment inclusive of erosion in the coastal and river bank, water pollution, increasing of flood, noise and air pollution. Nowadays, sustainable development has encourage us to sustain the balance between development of the nation and the biodiversity conservation. In order to reduce aggregate mining and promote sustainable development, this study aim to determine the strength and properties of concrete made from windshield glass waste as a replacing material for coarse aggregate. The windshield glass is collected from waste of car windshield at automobile workshop. The concrete cube specimens with size of 100 mm3 were made from different percentage of windshield glass (0%, 10% and 30%). The total of 36 cubes were tested for compressive strength and water absorption, while 18 cylinder specimens were tested for tensile strength in order to obtain the concrete performance at 7 and 28 days. The optimum percentage of windshield glass waste used in concrete as a replacing material was attained at 10% as the value of its strength is higher than normal concrete.
