The article discusses the possibilities to use ground glass obtained from fluorescent lamp utilisation as micro filler in High Performance Concrete. Investigated mix compositions are based on silica fume and its combination with glass powder. Testing results indicate that silica fume replacement by additionally ground fluorescent glass (up to 50%), slightly increases consumption of water and delays the setting time of cement paste. All concrete mixes with glass powder show decreased early-age strength and considerable strength gain after long-term hardening. It is concluded, that the best way of glass application in High Performance Concrete is to use fine ground glass powder together with silica fume as complex admixture.
