Abstract

Concrete is the best construction material all around the world due to the plastic property which helps it to be casted and moulded into any desirable shape. Usage of concrete as increasing the materials used for concrete are also depleting fast due to the high usage in the era of modernization. Ceramic waste from the ceramic industries contributes as a major material for waste materials which cannot even decomposed on dumping. In the present study, ceramic aggregate waste is used as a partial replacement of natural coarse aggregate. The ceramic waste is chiseled to obtain aggregate of required size 20mm. The ceramic coarse aggregate is used as a partial replacement and replaced as according to mix proportions. Mix proportion of 1:1.73:2.88 with W/c ratio 0.48 for M20 Grade concrete and Mix proportion of 1:1.48:2.5 with W/c ratio 0.45 for M30 Grade Concrete was used for the present study. A total of 156 specimens are casted which consists of 72 Cube, 36 Cylinders and 36 Prisms. The test results obtained are compared and studied with the conventional reference concrete and conclusions are drawn from it for further use of ceramic waste aggregate for further use.
