As a new type of high-performance concrete material, glass powder (GP) concrete is beneficial to the environment and concrete performance. However, the specific application method still needs to be studied. This paper introduces the structure theory of glass and the mechanism by which glass powder affects concrete. Through experiments, the effects of glass powder particle size, content, alkali content, and other factors on alkali-silica reaction (ASR) expansion, mechanical properties, and durability of concrete are compared. It is proven that glass powder can be used as a gel material in concrete. The existing problems in the research are summarized, and the latest research perspectives and methods are suggested.
