Abstract (EN): Self compacting concrete (SCC) requires a large quantity of fine materials compared to common concrete. In this work waste glass powder was used to replace (50%) of filler required. Two types of SCC were manufactured, a control SCC type (CTL) using cement and limestone filler and another with glass powder replacing 50% of the filler. Mechanical and durability properties, namely, compressive strength, resistivity, chloride ion penetration, carbonation, capillary water absorption and oxygen permeability were assessed on both SCC types. It could be concluded that waste glass powder can be used successfully in SCC improving chloride penetration and water absorption by capillarity and maintaining strength levels. The potential risk of alkali -silica observed on mortar was mitigated when incorporating glass powder.
