Waste glass as construction waste has great harm to the environment. Adding glass powder to concrete can make effective use of resources and eliminate the pollution of waste glass to the environment. The research shows that adding glass powder to concrete leads to increased particle friction, the higher the substitution rate, the worse the working performance of concrete, and the ash effect in the early stage of glass powder is not obvious, the addition of glass powder will reduce the early compressive strength of concrete, but with the increase of age, the compressive strength of concrete will increase. The whole life cycle analysis shows that good environmental and economic benefits can be obtained by adding proper amount of glass powder.
