-This paper presents an experimental study on the properties of concrete containing ceramic wastes. Theceramic industry inevitably generates wastes, irrespective of the improvements introduced in manufacturing processes.In the ceramic industry, about 15%-30% production goes as waste. These wastes pose a problem in present day society,requiring a suitable form of management in order to achieve sustainable development. In this research study the (OPC)cement has been replaced by ceramic waste powder accordingly in the range of 0%,5%,10%,15%, 20% and aggregatehas been replaced by ceramic waste aggregate accordingly in the range of 0%, 5%,10%,15%, 20% by weight for M-25grade concrete. Compressive Strength test was carried out on hardened concrete cubes after 7 and 28 days curing inwater. Results show that concrete with partial cement replacement by ceramic powder and ceramic aggregate althoughit has minor strength loss possess increase durability performance. In current paper the analysis of varies properties ofceramic aggregates is carried out to validate adoptability of the same as normal aggregates. In both cases, sustainableefforts were made to reduce the quantity of concrete. Reuse of this kind of waste has advantages in aspect of economicand environmental, reduction in the number of natural spaces employed as refuse dumps. Indirectly, all the abovecontributes to a better quality of life for citizens and to introduce the concept of sustainability in the construction sector.
