The present investigation was carried out to study the possibility of using waste glass of size up to 5mm as a fine aggregate in concrete and mortar. The waste glass was used as a partial weight replacement of sand with percentages of 10, 20, 30 and 40 %. The results have indicated that increasing the fractions of sand replacement by waste glass leads to reduce the compressive and tensile strength for both mortar and concrete. Up to 20 % replacement, the 28 days compressive strength of concrete and mortar is about 92 and 95 percent from the reference strengths, respectively. Also, it was found that the expansion of mortar specimens increase with increasing the waste glass content in the mix. At 20 % of sand replacement by waste glass, the expansion is slightly higher than that for the control specimens.
