Abstract |
|
The main focus of this research is to study the strength of concrete with waste ceramic tile as coarse aggregate and silica fume as cement. Increased construction activity and continuous depends on conventional materials of concrete making are leading to scarcity of the materials and increased construction cost. In this study an attempt has been made to find the suitability of waste ceramic tile coarse aggregate and silica fume as a possible substitute for conventional aggregate and cement in concrete. The both ceramic tile industry and quartz industry are known to generate large amount of waste each year. So for a huge part is used in landfills. Re-using these wastes in concrete could be a within situation. So I prefer ceramic tile waste and silica fume to increase strength and stability of concrete. |
