Abstrakt: The global surge in glass waste generation, exceeding 130 million tons annually, presents a pressing environmental issue, compounded by inadequate recycling practices, it is concerning that the global recycling rate for glass waste is below 50%. This research investigates the utilization of WG as a FA substitute in paver block to mitigate the ecological footprint of conventional paver block while enhancing its mechanical properties. WG's unique characteristics, such as high silica content and impermeability, make it a promising alternative. A comprehensive experimental approach, including tests like water absorption, dry density, workability, compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and rebound hammer, demonstrated WG's potential to improve concrete's durability and performance. For instance, a 40% WGA replacement reduced the absorption rate 12%, while 20% WGA incorporation-maintained strength properties close to the control mix, with compressive strengths up to 30.80 MPa at 28 days. Employing RSM as predictive models, the study showed R 2 values of 0.9513, 0.9983, 0.9156, 0.9925, and 0.9895 for water absorption, dry density, compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and rebound hammer, respectively. This study offers supporting global research efforts to advance sustainable and affordable construction materials, leading to a significant reduction in landfill waste and the conservation of precious natural resources worldwide.
