Abstract :
A large bulk of ceramic tiles change into wastage, these waste materials are not reusable and
recyclable due to their physical and chemical structure. Given the high amount of concrete
production and the possibility of wastage materials in them, using ceramic wastage could be
an effective measure in maintaining the environment and improving the properties of
concrete. The present experimental study deal with the investigation of possibility of using
waste ceramic tile in concrete. To do so, first, the characteristics of ceramic aggregate are
measured and then being grind they are used in concrete as the substitute for coarse
aggregates with 0 to 40 percent of substitution and also for sand with 0 to 100 percent of
substation. Besides, all other parameters are constant. Finally the slump value, compressive
strength, water absorption, and the unit weight of concrete for the samples were calculated.
The findings revealed that generally using waste ceramic tile lead to enhancing the
properties of concrete.
