ABSTRACT:

Innovations have become a routine of the present era.
Innovations are much needed to meet the increasing
demand for new and quality materials, as there is an
unimaginable growth in various fields.

Though several studies have been made on the sense of
waste aggregate like oil palm shell etc, only limited
studies have been made with respect to use of ceramic
waste as aggregate .

Use of hazardous industrial wastes in concrete-making
will lead to greener environment. In ceramic industry
about 30% production goes as Waste, which is not
recycled at present.

ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION:

The concrete constitutes cement, coarse aggregate, and fine
aggregate. About 90% of the volume of concrete is aggregate.
Hence quality of aggregate is one of the factors which decide
the quality of concrete.
The aggregate used in concrete shall be hard, strong, dense,
durable, clean and free from other deleterious substances. With
increased construction activities, especially in developing
countries, the natural resources such as crushed stones and
sand are rapidly depleting.
The concepts for alternative material such as recycled
aggregate are popular in developed countries like USA, UK,
Japan, Germany, and Denmark etc, but in India, it is yet to find
wide use due to its limited availability, practical difficulties in
breaking the concrete.
METHODOLOGY:

Literature review:

J.de.Brito, A.S Pereria, J.R .Correia (1992), made an
attempt to study the strength characteristics of conventional
concrete,

Using ceramic tiles as aggregates for the production of non-
structural concrete for pavement slabs.
Were characteristics of the aggregates used were analyzed,
including the river sand common to all the mixes, the
coarse primary limestone aggregates and the coarse
recycled ceramic aggregates resulting from tiles.
The workability (slump) and specific density of fresh
concrete as well as the water absorbed in the pre-saturation
process of the ceramic aggregates were measured.



Hanifi Binici (1996), investigated the suitability of ceramic industrial wastes
and huge amounts of basaltic pumice as a possible substitute for conventional
crushed fine aggregates

It was formed that ceramic wastes and basaltic pumice concretes had
good workability. Furthermore, it was found that abrasion resistance of
crushed ceramic (CC) and crushed basaltic pumice (CBP) concretes was
lower than that of conventional concretes.

Test results also showed that maximum abrasion rate was obtained from
specimen control (Mo), while minimum abrasion rate is obtained from
M3 (60% crushed ceramic concrete) specimens. Abrasion resistance was
increased as the rate of fine CC was decreased. Abrasion resistance of
concrete was strongly influenced by its compressive strengths and CC and
crushed CBP content.

The crushed ceramic addition percentage decreased as the chloride
penetration depth increased. Results of this investigation showed that CC
and CBP could be conveniently used for low abrasion and higher
compressive strength concretes.

CONCLUSION
THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS ARE DRAWN FROM THE STUDY ON CERAMIC
WASTE COARSE AGGREGATE CONCRETE AND THEY ARE APPLICABLE FOR THE
RANGE OF PARAMETERS AND MATERIALS USED IN THIS STUDY.

CERAMIC WASTE CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO USEFUL COARSE
AGGREGATE. THE PROPERTIES OF CERAMIC WASTE COARSE AGGREGATE ARE
WELL WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE VALUES OF CONCRETE MAKING AGGREGATES.

THE PROPERTIES OF CERAMIC WASTE AGGREGATE CONCRETE ARE NOT
SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE OF CONVENTIONAL CONCRETE. THE
MAIN PROBLEM WITH THESE COARSE AGGREGATES IS THEIR HIGH WATER
ABSORPTION
