Ceramic tile waste, which is obtained from construction sites, demolition sites, and manufacturing industries, has a negative impact on the environment. Recycling these ceramic tiles to produce concrete could be a useful strategy for preserving the environment and enhancing the concrete's inherent qualities. To lessen the impact of waste materials on the environment, this study seeks to ascertain whether it is feasible to substitute waste materials from ceramic tiles as coarse aggregates in the production of concrete. Experimental studies were conducted and the concrete grade 30 was tested for slump test, compression test, and water absorption test, at various curing times of 7, 14, and 28 days. Additional water absorption of the CTA lead to increased water demand, which then increased the levels of porosity and reduced workability. The high porosity of the CTA concrete reduces the density of the concrete and has an impact on compressive strength. CTA has the probability to be used, but precaution needs to be required, especially for higher replacements that may influence the compressive strength and thus partial replacement is suggested.
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.
