A REVIEW PAPER ON USE OF CERAMIC TILE WASTE AS A REPLACEMENT OF AGGREGATE AND CEMENT OF CONCRETE

Abstract

This study highlights the benefits of ceramic waste in the construction industry. The majority of generated globally waste comes from construction demolition of building. The question of whether Ceramic Waste can act as pozzolana material in cement production has been effectively investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate some of the mechanical and physical properties of concrete produced in laboratory to which fine aggregate formed of white ceramic powder was added in a range of proportions from waste from demolition sites and the ceramics industry. Replacement of Cement or Aggregates should not be utilized where strength is the prime factor. Both structural and non-structural operations could make use of ceramic waste.
