Nowadays, a large amount of glass fiber reinforced cement (GFRC) waste from construction industries and demolition activities presents a significant source of major environmental and economic problems. In order to protect the environment, many studies have been conducted to recycle and reuse these wastes in concrete production. The present work also aims to reach this objective and to show technically the possibility of recycling glass fiber reinforced cement waste (RGFRC) as a partial substitution in concrete production. Three concrete mix variations were formulated: one comprising solely natural aggregate (NC) serving as the control, and two others incorporating a blend of natural and recycled glass fiber reinforced cement (RGFRC) with 20% and 40% replacement of recycled aggregate, respectively. The test of compressive strength behavior was performed on the mixes. The results showed that concrete containing 20% RGFRC has the best mechanical properties compared with the control concrete and that using more RGFRC would have a harmful impact on the mechanical characteristics of concrete.
