Abstract :

The cost of construction material is rising mainly due to high demand of concrete and scarcity of raw material affecting the economy of the structure. With increasing demand and consumption of cement, researchers and civil engineers are in search of developing alternate binders that are eco-friendly and contribute towards waste management. In such case, the use of industrial and agricultural waste produced by industrial processes has been the focus of waste reduction research for economic and environmental.

In ceramic industry, about 15%-30% production goes as waste. These wastes create a problem in present-day society, requiring a suitable form of management in order to achieve sustainable development.

The use of the waste materials in cement, concrete and other construction materials has numerous indirect benefits such as reducing the cost of concrete manufacturing, protecting environment from possible pollution effect. It may also result in foreign exchange earnings.

In this study, the properties of concrete enhanced with partially replacement of Ceramic powder in the ratio of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% by weight of cement in concrete were studied for M 30 grade. The properties for fresh concrete are tested like slump cone test and for hardened concrete compressive strength and split-tensile strength at the age of 7, 28 and 56 days curing period and durability properties are also considered. The aim behind the use of Ceramic Powder as partial replacement in the concrete is to reduce the cost of material and as an eco-friendly structure.
