PERFORMANCE OF CONCRETE BY REPLACING COARSE AGGREGATE AND FINE AGGREGATE WITH CERAMIC WASTE

Abstract

Now a days, in India growth rate of infrastructure is increase rapidly so larger quantity of concrete is used
for the high rise building so it’s necessary to use a high strength concrete. Also larger quantity of the natural resources
is used and pollution of the environment is increased day to day. Ceramic waste is one of them which pollute the
environment and also waste for industries. Here in this research paper an attempt has been made to study the effect of
ceramic waste tile on properties of concrete by replacing coarse aggregate and fine aggregate. For the study purpose,
replacement of a coarse aggregate and fine aggregate by different percentage of Ceramic waste has been done for water
cement ratio of 0.35. Concrete made from a ceramic waste (tiles) has been tested and experimentally evaluated for
compressive strength, Tensile strength, flexure strength and under water flexure strength. The percentage of aggregate
replaced by a 20% of ceramic waste achieve a high compression strength than the other percentage replacement of
coarse aggregate. Therefore replacement of coarse aggregate kept fixed to 20% and replacement of fine aggregate for
different percentage has been considered. OPC-53 grade cement and high range water reducer is used for the proper
workability of high strength concrete. In this research investigate a fresh and hardened property of a concrete. Cube,
beam and cylinder are casted and tested for compressive strength, flexure strength, under water flexure strength and split
tensile strength.
