Cement pastes containing 0, 10, and 30% replacement of waste glass with cement and in a water to cement ratio of 0.4 have been prepared. The g factors of Fe(III) and Mn(II) impurities at different hydration ages have been calculated. The decreased gFe values and simultaneous increase in gMn values with increase in replacement % of WG are explained due to retardation of cement hydration. %K EPR %K Cement %K Waste Glass %K Setting Time %K Compressive Strength %K G-Factor %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=8018
