[1], Topcu and Canbaz [5], Tuncan et. al. [15] and Ksack16
reported in their studies the addition of waste glass into
concrete in crushed forms decreased the flexural strength.
Park et. al. [1], Topcu and Canbaz [5] and Ksack [16] also
reported in their studies the addition of waste glass into
concrete in crushed forms decreased the splitting tensile
strength, while Tuncan et. al. [15] reported an increase of 6%.
Sangha et. al. [17] investigated the effect on concrete strength
of green glass as an aggregate replacement. They observed
that increases in the compressive strength values at the 10%,
40%, and 60% aggregate replacement by waste glass with 0-
10 mm particle size were 3%, 8% and 5% as compared with
control sample without waste glass but decrease in the
compressive strength value was 2% at the 20% replacement.
In this study, different from earlier studies on concrete with

prepared for the corresponding the compressive strength, the
flexural strength, the splitting tensile strength, the unit weight
and abrasion resistance tests. Then, the paving block samples
are dried for 24 hours by a ventilated oven at 105 oC. The
water absorption is obtained from the samples prepared for the
unit weight tests. The UPV (Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity) tests
are also conducted on the samples made for the flexural
strength tests.
