The transport characteristics of waste glass powder incorporated self-compacting concrete (SCC) for a number of different durability indicators are reported in this paper. SCC mixes were cast at a water to binder ratio of 0.4 using glass powders with a mean particle size of 10, 20 and 40 µm and at cement replacement levels of 20, 30 and 40%. The oxygen permeability, electrical resistivity, porosity and chloride diffusivity were measured at different ages from 3 to 545 days of curing. The amount and particle size of the incorporated waste glass powder was found to influence the durability properties of SCC. The glass incorporated SCC mixes showed similar or better durability characteristics compared to general purpose (GP) and fly ash mixes at similar cement replacement level. A significant improvement in the transport properties of the glass SCC mixes was observed beyond 90 days.
