Resumen: Cement has a seminal role for binding concrete aggregates and sand in mortars. Its
production has been constantly growing. In 1995, global production was just 1.39
billion tons and in 2022 reached 4.1, almost the production forecasted for the year
2050. Such an increment demands huge amounts of resources and energy and may
also contribute to the generation of greenhouse gasses. However, the use of recycled
glass powder (RGP) may benefit the environment, saving energy and raw resources.
Recycled glass is increasingly suggested as a coarse and fine aggregate but also fine
ground as a cementitious material because it reacts with other cement components,
acting as a pozzolanic material and consequently diminishes the porosity of
concrete. This property makes it adequate for reinforced concrete exposed to very
harsh environments, where rebars corrosion is catalyzed by chlorides in the marine
breeze and high temperatures and relative humidity values typical for tropical
environments. In this chapter, a review of the use of different types of recycled glass
in mortars and reinforced concrete and the corrosion behavior of glass concrete
exposed to the marine breeze, are presented.
