Abstract |
The Objective of this experimental study was to reduce, reuse and recycle of waste material on construction and demolition areas. Ceramic materials are widely used in many part of the world and consequently, large quantities of wastes are produced simultaneously by brick and tile manufacturers and from construction industry. However part of these wastes and those produced by the construction industry are dumped in landfills. The performance of the mortar were used to demonstrate the technical feasibility of recycling the waste produced in ceramic in construction industry. Mortar mixes were prepared and focusing on the effect of ceramic tiles powder as cement replacement. Ceramic waste is one of most active research areas that encompass a number of disciplines including civil engineering and construction materials. In our project the PPC Cement has replaced by ceramic waste powder accordingly in the range of 0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% respectively. Mortar mixtures were produced, tested at 7, 14 and 28days and so comparing in terms of compressive strength. The convention cement mortar 1:3 mixture gives the experimental investigation of the 30% replacement of cement with ceramic tiles powder in cement mortar at 28 days gives the maximum Compressive strength. |
