Introduction

Advantage of ceramic
Light weight
Withstand the oxidation and corrosion process
Has high capability of storing heat
Low in friction coefficient.

Asphalt road.
The size, the number, and the continuity of the pores
Strength of the aggregate,
Abrasion resistance,
Surface texture,
Specific gravity,
Bonding capabilities,
and resistance to freezing and thawing action

 Physical Properties
Compressive Strength
Porosity

Objectives

VIVA Presentation: The Use of Ceramic as a Substitute for Aggregate

 Identify the physical properties of ceramic material.

Determine the compressive strength of the material
with addition of ceramic waste
To compare the porosity of the sample with the porosity
of the conventional asphalt road (excluding porous
asphalt).

Scope of Studies

VIVA Presentation: The Use of Ceramic as a Substitute for Aggregate

(Ramon et al., 2013) study the future of this material as in

treatment of the waste in presents proportionally with
natural aggregate in the asphalt mixture design.
Kruger and Solas, (2013) focus on the usage of the RCW on the
road surface coarse due to its high degree of whiteness and
hardness.

Water Retention

VIVA Presentation: The Use of Ceramic as a Substitute for Aggregate

Van de Van et al. (2011) use 15% of recycled ceramic aggregate(RCA) with the conventional
aggregate and result in positive feedback for both mechanical properties and leaching
behavior.
Selmo (1999) and Levy and Helene (1997), For bulk density of mortar which use recycled
ceramic shows lower value than from using conventional mortars due to high porosity in the
ceramic
Miranda and Selmo (1999) and Levy and Helene (1997), greater water retention in MRA
with ceramic aggregate rather than MRA with aggregates from mortars and concrete.

Kikuchi et al. (1998) reported that 40% substitution of the ceramic aggregate with the natural
one in the mortar sample will increase the shrinkage of MRA compared to the constant
sample with no ceramic aggregate added but also has lower shrinkage of MRA at the initial
stages.

Conclusion
Further test require to pin-point the exact quantity and
measurement to get optimum percentage of Ceramic to be used to be
replaced with the conventional aggregate.
This is to determine the exact data that are which are more
consistent and reliable.
