The use of waste glass in concrete can bring significant economic and environmental benefits due to reduction of landfills and demand for natural aggregates. This paper presents a comprehensive investigation on the feasibility of using high volume of waste glass as fine aggregate in self‐compacting concrete (SCC). A detailed investigation on fresh behavior of mixtures was performed by evaluating filling ability, stability, passing ability, and viscosity of SCC mixtures. Compressive strength and electrical resistivity experiments and scanning electron microscope analysis were also performed to investigate the strength and durability of the concrete mixtures. Furthermore, alkali silica reaction (ASR) potential of different size ranges of the used glass was assessed. The obtained results revealed that excessive bleeding and segregation and deleterious ASR expansion are possible challenges of incorporating fine glass aggregates in SCC. Interestingly, there was no evidence that glass has a considerable impact on the mechanical performance of concrete whereas it increased the electrical resistivity of concrete. Utilizing high volume of waste glass in SCC up to 600 kg/m3 became feasible when a part of portland cement was substituted with zeolite.
