        abstract = {This study explores the feasibility of using concrete debris, glass powder and glass fiber as partial replacement of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and cement to ensure sustainability in construction practices. Construction by- products such as concrete debris and glass powder were integrated into concrete mixtures at different proportions. M30 grade concrete is used for this experiment. Cement is replaced with glass fiber by 1%. The percentage of glass powder and concrete debris used in concrete varied from 0%, 10%, 20% and 30%. The compressive strength of cube specimen, tensile strength of a cylindrical specimen and the flexural strength of a beam specimen were tested after 7, 14 and 28 days. The flexural strength of the beam was analysed using ANSYS software and compared with experimental results. The results demonstrate promising outcomes, highlighting the potential of construction by-product to reduce dependency on conventional aggregates, lower environmental impact, and offer cost-effective alternatives for eco-friendly construction. This research emphasizes the benefits of waste management and sustainable material development in modern construction.},
