Strength Characteristics on Partial Replacement of fine Aggregate by Ceramic Waste in Concrete to avoid Land Pollution

Abstract

Concrete costs can be reduced by using these waste materials. A portion of the coarse aggregate is substituted. The main goal of this analysis is to see how partial replacement of fine with ceramic waste affects the results. Most of the ceramic industry's production currently goes to waste because it has not yet been recycled. Test specimen of ceramic waste was used to partially replace fine aggregate at 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% of respectively. All of the specimens were cast and tested for various strengths after a 28-day curing period. Based on the findings of this study, it was determined that the successful use of waste materials obtained from the starlight industries as aggregate produced good concrete results as compared to natural aggregate concrete. With each day of curing, the compressive power, Split Tensile strength, and density increased. The compressive strength and density of concrete cubes containing 50% ceramic waste as a partial substitute for fine aggregate in the concrete are the largest.
