Abstract :
The main focus of this research is to study the strength of concrete with ceramic waste as coarse aggregate. The sources of ceramic waste are obtained from the industrial in Malaysia. Presently in ceramics industries the production goes as waste, which is not under going the recycle process yet. In this study an attempt has been made to find the suitability of the ceramic industrial wastes as a possible replacement for conventional crushed stone coarse. Expehment were carried out to determine the strength of concrete with ceramic waste coarse aggregate to compare them with the conventional concrete made (with crushed stone coarse aggregate). The properties of the aggregate were also compared. The results show, compressive strength of concrete with ceramic waste coarse aggregate was 85%-100% which indicates that the result is comparable to conventional concrete.
