Experimental Study On Using Tiles Waste As Replacement Of Coarse And Fine Aggregate In Concrete

Abstract

Ceramic wastes have been discovered to be acceptable for use as fine and coarse aggregate substitutes in concrete manufacturing. According to studies, approximately 20-30% of the material produced in tile production facilities ends up as trash. The purpose of this research is to see whether discarded tiles can be used as a partial substitute for coarse and fine aggregates in concrete. Because of these factors, the reuse of demolished building wastes such as ceramic tile has emerged as a viable option for reducing solid waste and addressing the shortage of natural aggregates for concrete production. Ceramic tile trash is generated not only during the destruction of buildings, but also in the production process.

Crushed waste ceramic tiles, as well as crushed waste ceramic tile powder, are used to substitute coarse and fine aggregates. 10 percent, 20 percent, 30 percent, 40 percent, and 50 percent of the coarse aggregates were substituted with ceramic waste broken tiles. Along with the ceramic coarse tile, 10% of the fine aggregate was substituted with ceramic tile powder. The M20 concrete grade was developed and tested. Crushed tiles and tile powder were used to replace coarse and fine aggregates in various percentages in the mix design for various kinds of mixes. Workability tests, compressive strength tests, and split tensile strength tests were conducted for various concrete mixes with varying percentages after 7, 14, and 28 days of curing.
