Abstract
Chapter 6 deals with the durability performance of mortar containing ceramic tile waste exposed to sulphate attack. The introduction discusses the latest development regarding this subject as no case study has been found where ceramic tile waste was actually used in the field. This study investigates the sulphate resistance of ceramic mortar by using sulphate solution and tested the visual appearance of specimens, mass loss, residual compressive strength, and microstructure analysis up to 18 months of sulphate exposure. The ceramic mortar demonstrated superior advantages with respect to visual appearance and mass change with low values of strength loss upon exposure to sulphate solutions. Therefore, ceramic waste in the form of fine aggregates and fine powder can be used in mortar production with comparable strength and improvement in the fresh and hardened state properties of the mortar as compared with the OPC mortar.
