Abstract

The integration of glass powder as a
mineral additive in concrete offers promising benefits for enhancing physico-mechanical performance
and sustainability in construction. This paper reviews the characteristics, pozzolanic activity, and
performance impact of glass powder on concrete,
highlighting improvements in compressive strength,
durability, and resistance to environmental stressors. Through optimal dosage and fine particle size,
glass powder contributes to a denser microstructure
and reduced environmental impact. The research
emphasizes the role of particle fineness in enhancing pozzolanic activity, the synergy with other supplementary cementitious materials, and the resulting influence on durability, frost resistance, and resistance to aggressive environments. The incorporation of glass powder also addresses ecological concerns by utilizing waste material, lowering CO₂
emissions, and supporting circular economy principles. A comprehensive analysis of experimental
studies and comparative evaluations reveals the optimal parameters for effective application in construction practices. The findings support its application in modern eco-efficient construction technologies and promote further investigation into the development of sustainable and high-performance cementitious systems
