EVALUATING THE STRUCTURAL
Description
Various research studies have emerged in
response to reducing the growing demand for crushed granite as coarse aggregate and protecting the environment from
degradation. These studies aim to identify alternative
materials that can provide the same purpose while
minimizing environmental risks. This study evaluated the
appropriateness of using waste ceramic tiles as a coarse
aggregate in concrete and determined its strength compared
to conventional crushed granite. Crushed waste ceramic tiles
obtained from ceramic manufacturing businesses and
construction sites were combined with crushed granite stones
to partially substitute concrete. A concrete mixture with a
ratio of 1 part cement, 1.11 parts sand, and 2.72 parts stones,
known as notional C30 concrete, was created. The mixture
included ceramic waste material, which replaced varying
volumes of crushed granite (0%, 20%, 40%, 50%, and
100%). The water-cement ratio remained constant at 0.5.
Concrete cubes of 150mm x 150mm x 150mm were
manufactured and subjected to testing for compressive
strength, density, and water absorption after 7 and 28 days.
The findings demonstrated that discarded ceramic tiles can
be used as a substitute for crushed granite in concrete
manufacturing. However, it is advised to limit the
replacement to a maximum of 20% to ensure the structural
integrity of the concrete. Implementing this method of
recycling ceramic debris can support the environment
effectively.
