Study On Use Of Waste Ceramics AS Coarse Aggregate In Concrete

Abstract

Wastages of Waste Ceramics production has generated a huge amount of by-products in the form of coarse aggregate which causes large scale of environmental pollution. This has led to a major concern in the environmental as well as construction industry due to the disposal of these million tons of coarse aggregate. The purpose of this study is to experimentally investigate the compatibility of wastage ceramics by-product for replacing of coarse aggregates in concrete partially. Influence on replacement of wastage Waste Ceramics with stone on the strength behavior on concrete was studied at curing age of 28 days and the results are found with conventional concrete cylinder. The results of the experimental study show that, mixture of wastage ceramics partially be used in place of coarse aggregate in concrete and it saves considerable amount of stone there by preserving the valuable natural resource. Wastage concrete offers a cost reduction of approximately 17.6% compared to normal concrete while providing additional strength benefits and contributing to sustainability.
