In English glottal stop: may rainforce the articulation of a vowel,

May be introduced before voicless plosive to rainforce its articulation,

Voicless plosive may also be replaced by a glottal stop.

Before /t/ can be glottaled in RP, a number of conditions must be satisfled.

1.    Must be followed by a consonant other than /h/

2.    Must be preceded by a sonorant sound

3.    Must be in the coda of the syllable, not in the onset /no? 'nau/, /'ae?l8s/, /bA?n/. /d/ is never glottaled in RP.
