An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effects on the mechanical properties of concrete with finely ground waste glass as Portland cement partial substitution at levels of 30%. Glass cullet (clear, amber, emerald green bottle glass), borosilicate DRL and lead LB fluorescent lamp glass chippings were ground within 60 minutes in laboratory planetary ball mill Retsch PM400 (with rotation speed 300 min-1) into powder. Portland substitution with ground DRL fluorescent waste glass suspension and amber glass cullet powder at level of 30% has shown the best results at the age of 7days, what is very important for structural elements, with 82 and 75Mpa accordingly compressive strength values in comparison to reference mix.
