  • Abstract:
  • Due to scarcity of the construction materials, it is need to explore alternative construction materials. Hence many efforts are being made for the use of different types of waste and by-products from industrial as well as household waste and recyclable materials in the production of various construction materials. In the construction field ceramic tiles are used as building material. While manufacturing the ceramic tiles about 10-25% production goes as waste. This waste from the ceramic industries dumped at nearby places. But it can be recycled and can be used as a construction material. Hence using of ceramic waste in concrete would be beneficial. This study is carried out on M25 grade of concrete. In this study coarse aggregate has been partially replaced by ceramic tiles in the proportion of 0%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by weight to evaluate the various properties like compressive strength, split tensile strength, durability for different concrete mixes after 7, 14 and 28 days curing period. These properties of concrete were examined and compared with normal concrete.
