Green concrete is an advanced civil engineering material to optimize people's living environment. The study introduces the basic concept of green concrete, analyzes the characteristics and advantages of green concrete, including vegetation greening concrete, waste recycling concrete, and self-compacting concrete, and discusses the application of these green concrete in practical engineering. Results show that vegetation green concrete is a new type of concrete that combines plants and concrete, which can be used in urban greening and highway vegetation concrete slope protection. Waste recycling and environmental protection concrete is a kind of green concrete that can reduce environmental pollution without affecting the performance of concrete by using existing waste materials as raw materials. It can be used to produce autoclaved aerated concrete blocks and modified rubber or recycled aggregate concrete through special processing. Self-compacting concrete becomes dense from its gravity, which reduces the energy required for mechanical vibration. Because of its high strength, steel can be used to produce high-strength self-compacting concrete-filled steel tubular columns or anchor bolts.
