Partial Replacement of Ceramic & Stone Waste with Coarse Aggregate and Copper Slag with Fine Aggregate in Concrete

All over the world, from day to day the large amount of concrete is being utilized in the construction field of civil engineering. But the worrying thing is that, most of the construction and demolition waste in our country are not recycled and left at industrial site as non-useable materials, which creates pollution to environment. Waste is one of the main challenges to dispose and manage but optional remedy on that is recycling of waste materials. Recycling is the most promising waste management process for disposal of materials. Increase in industrialization and urbanization, the use of buildings also increased which results in continuous usage of construction material leads to scarcity of the concrete materials (such as sand). To overcome these issues many research were done to use many industrial waste as alternative or substantial material for concreting. In this project work, control concrete is casted for M25 and M30 grades and the partial replacement of concrete materials were decided to reuse industrial waste such as Copper Slag as fine aggregate replacement in range of 10%, 20%, 30% by weight of sand and the Ceramic Waste (Tile & Shabath Stone waste) as Coarse Aggregate replacement in 10%, 20%, 25% and 20%, 30%, 35% by weight of coarse aggregate. Totally 180-cubes (90 for M25 & 90 for M30 grades) were casted and tested for Compressive Strength at 7, 14, 28 days curing of concrete and the obtained results are compared with M25 and M30 grades of conventional concrete.
