In this study, the effects of fine recycled concrete and glass aggregate on mechanical and durability performance of concrete were investigated. The waste concrete and glass were crushed, sieved and re-mixed to fulfill the same gradation as the available 0-4 mm crushed limestone aggregate size fraction. The recycled aggregates were substituted for fine aggregate as 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 % by weight. 28-day mechanical and durability performance of the mixtures were determined. The maximum reduction in strength was observed in the specimens containing 60 % recycled glass aggregate. In addition, increasing the recycled concrete aggregate content caused decrease in UPV value and increase in water absorption, depth of penetration of water under pressure, chloride-ion penetration and water sorptivity of the concrete mixture. However, in recycled glass aggregate-containing mixture, UPV value increased and transport properties were improved with the increasing recycled glass aggregate content.
