Concrete compressive strength and durability is necessary for concrete structures, replacing any of the materials for concrete required having materials with good engineering properties, this research aim at evaluating compressive strength and durability of treated and untreated jute fibre concrete blended with ground waste glass, locally sourced jute fibre immersed in 15% ammonia NH 4 for 10hrs period in the production of grade 25N/mm 2 concrete blended with ground waste glass. Two set of samples was produced (treated and untreated) and the proportion of the materials was determine using central composite design (design expert). treated ammonia jute fibre concrete blended with ground waste glass, immersed in to 10% sulphuric acid H 2 SO 4 for 28 has shown significant increase in compressive strength, with the best mix recording 16.4% increase compared to the samples produced with untreated jute fibre, the compressive strength of concrete with 1.5% treated jute and 7.5% glass powder as the best proportions.
