OSA can be used in the various applications of the construction industry and building technology to minimize environmental risks and promote sustainability. This review aims to survey the research efforts on using OSA for construction applications and map the research views from the literature through a coherent and systematic mixed reviewing methodology (bibliometric analysis and systematic review). Overall, 528 publications were collected and then screened to 38 studies. The bibliometric mapping was implemented for the keyword's occurrence and the tested properties of construction materials containing OSA. This review concluded that the utilization of OSA in construction materials has considerably interesting pathways and presents a basis for future optimization in concrete, mortar, geopolymer, building blocks, glass�ceramic, aggregate, asphalt binder, and soil stabilization agent. However, this utilization negatively affects several aspects of each type of the reviewed material. More investigations are required to provide a better understanding of the mechanical properties and durability of OSA-based concrete for its mass usage in broad applications and widespread in the construction industry. This systematic review provides a thorough understanding of gaps and existing opportunities for research and is expected to motivate researchers to be involved in this range of studies. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd date: 2021 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85108437156&doi=10.1016%2fj.conbuildmat.2021.123844&partnerID=40&md5=08322fdb0af7e4bfb0a974206748b0a4 id_number: 10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2021.123844 full_text_status: none publication: Construction and Building Materials volume: 299 refereed: TRUE issn: 09500618 citation: Salah Alaloul, W. and Al Salaheen, M. and Malkawi, A.B. and Alzubi, K. and Al-Sabaeei, A.M. and Ali Musarat, M.
