Due to high consumption of concrete constituents namely, natural aggregates and cement, their de-pletion is observed globally. Over the years, many researchers have come up with alternatives to these basic constituents of concrete. Ceramic waste (CW) generated from ceramic industries (indus-tries producing tiles, sanitaryware, ceramic refractories, ceramic insulators, ceramic crockery) have not found any reuse and is deposited as landfills, which further increases land pollution and also give rise to health issues. The CW can be easily grinded as per required size, which have interested many researchers to use it in the production of concrete. Till date CW has been used as partial re-placement to cement, fine aggregates and coarse aggregates. This review paper discusses the poten-tial of CW as replacement to concrete constituents in the production of concrete and its effect on mechanical and durability properties. The literature review is carried in three parts – review on use of CW to replace cement, fine aggregates and coarse aggregate. The study shows different research-es using different sources of CW having varied properties being used as partial replacement. The effect of replacement on concrete strength and durability is reported
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
