• It is well recognized that finely ground soda-lime glass exhibits high pozzolanic reactivity. Fine glass grains will not undergo an Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in the presence of alkali, and can even mitigate the ASR between alkali and reactive aggregates. Influences of the pozzolanic reaction of glass powder on solid phases, pore solution in cement paste, and the ASR mitigating effect are investigated in the study. The pozzolanic reaction of glass not only consumes portlandite to form in-situ C-S-H, which appears as reaction rim around glass grains, and precipitated C-S-H, but also reduces monosulfate level. The impacts of the pozzolanic reaction on species in pore solution are characterized by increased aluminum, sulfate, sodium, and silicon concentrations and decreased calcium concentration. The increase in aluminum and sulfate concentrations results from the decrease in solid monosulfate. Glass powder controls ASR by increasing aluminum concentration in pore solution to reduce the dissolution of amorphous silica from reactive aggregates.
