Abstract

Ceramic waste is most commonly produced from ceramic industry, which is produced at the end of polishing and finishing of ceramic tiles. In this study is concerned with the experimental investigation on strength of concrete and optimum percentage of the partial replacement by replacing cement via 0%, 10%, 20%, & 30%, of ceramic waste in M25 grade of concrete. The various mixtures of concrete were produced & testing such as flexural strength, split tensile strength & compressive strength had done. The results were compared into conventional concrete. As a result, the strength achieved up to 20% replacing cement with ceramic powder in concrete. In this study is also concerned with another experimental investigation on strength of cement mortar and optimum percentage of the partial replacement by replacing cement via 0%, 10% & 20% of ceramic waste in CM 1:5. Mortar mixtures were produced & testing had done and compared to the conventional cement mortar. As a result, the strength achieved up to 10% replacing cement with ceramic powder in Mortar. Thus, the replacement of Cement in concrete & Mortar by ceramic wastes will have major environmental benefits.
