DURABILITY ASPECTS OF CONCRETE BY PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT BY CERAMIC WASTE

Ceramic waste is one of the most active research areas that hold within a number of regulations including civil engineering and construction materials. Ceramic waste powder is settled by alleviation and then dumped away which results in environmental pollution, in addition to forming dust in summer and menacing both agriculture and public health. Therefore, utilization of the ceramic waste powder in various industrial sectors especially the construction, agriculture, glass and paper industries would help to protect the environment. It is most essential to develop eco-friendly concrete from ceramic waste. In this research study the (OPC) cement has been replaced by ceramic waste powder accordingly in the range of 10% 20%, 30% by weight ofM25 grade. Concrete mixtures were produced, tested and compared in terms of compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength and durability to the conventional concrete. These tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties for 7, 14 and 28 days. This research work is concerned with the experimental investigation on strength of concrete and optimum percentage of the partial replacement by replacing cement via 10%, 20%, 30%, of ceramic waste. Keeping all this view, the aim of the analysis is to study the performance of concrete while replacing the ceramic waste with different proportions in concrete.
