Lamp glass rational utilization problem is actually over the world. The possibilities for use lamp bore-silicate glass as concrete micro-filler have been investigated in this work. Experimental standard concrete samples was prepared and tested after the different ageing period in standard condition. The first part of experiments provides using ground glass as cement replacement. Experimental results indicate decreasing in compressive strength when part of cement was replaced by ground glass filler. The second experimental series presents adding glass filler additionally to cement as sand replacement. The next stage of investigations provides to compare behavior of glass filler and other traditionally used fine materials, effect of glass additional grinding also was investigated. The experimental results indicate that glass powder additional grinding gives positive effect on strength characteristics. The best compressive strength results were achieved by using silica fume as micro filler and silica fume combination with additionally ground glass as complex admixture. Concrete mixes containing microsilica and ground bore-silicate glass perform long-term hardening effect. Summarizing results of investigation it may be concluded that ground bore-silicate lamp glass succesfully may be applied as microfiller for concrete.
