Study of Characteristic Strength of Concrete by Partial Replacing Cement with Ceramic Waste Powder A Review

Abstract

In the construction industry, ceramic wall tiles are utilized as building materials. diverse raw materials, including clay, potash, dolomite, feldspar, talc, and diverse compounds, including sodium silicate, sodium triopoly, and phosphate (STPP), are used to make ceramic tiles. Due to this manufacturing variation, the temperature in the kiln fluctuates from 200°C to 1200°C, and the material possesses pozzolanic reactivity. During various manufacturing processes, 5–10% of the production in the ceramics industry is lost. (this waste percentage goes down if the technology is installed in new units.) The waste from the ceramic factory was dumped nearby, resulting in environmental pollution that harmed the nearby fields and residences. Therefore, incorporating ceramic waste powder in concrete would help save energy and safeguard the environment in a variety of ways. There will be a reduction in the price of disposing of ceramic trash in landfills. Natural resources and raw materials will be replaced. which indirectly contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gases(co2). In the process of making cement, a lot of carbon dioxide is emitted. In this investigation, cement in concrete is incrementally replaced with ceramic waste powder from the ceramic wall tile business in the range of 0% to 10%.20%, 30%, and 40% of cement by weight are used to make M25 grade concrete. This research is based on secondary as well as primary data. This investigation highlighted nature of concrete strength variation with increasing the ceramic waste. The maximum strength gain when 30% of cement is replacing by ceramic waste.
