Concrete Ceramic Waste Slab (CCWS)

Abstract

The main focus of this research is to study the strength of concrete with ceramic waste as coarse aggregate. The source of ceramic waste are obtained from 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 suitability of the ceramic industrial wastes as a possible replacement for conventional crushed stone coarse. Experiment 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.
