A Study on the Utilization of Tiles chips as Coarse Aggregate instead of stone chips in concrete mixture by testing the Compressive and Tensile strength of concrete in the laboratory”

Abstract

The aim of this experimental work was the investigation of possibilities of utilization of homogenous tiles as coarse aggregate for new building structures. The property of aggregate, such as specific gravity, absorption capacity was tested. 50-cylinder concrete specimens of diameter 100 mm & height 200 mm were made with water cement ratio. Concrete specimens were tested at 14 & 28 days for compressive strength, tensile strength. The selected mix proportion is 1:1.5:3(cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate) by volume. To make a comparison between the properties of concrete made with stone chips and concrete made with 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30% replacement of coarse aggregate by tiles chips
