Abstract

Abstract: The reuse of ceramic waste and iron slag waste as a substitute for coarse aggregate in concrete has been investigated. The current option for disposal of ceramic waste is landfill and this waste is of three types, namely ceramic tiles, clay bricks, flower potspots. Ceramic tiles were obtained from construction and demolition sites, which caused environmental pollution utilizationation of crushed tile as a coarse aggregate in concrete would also have a positive effect on the economy. And slag is considered a third-class hazardous waste that requires a large place for dumping. To transform the slag into an environmentally friendly resource and save the environment from pollution, the possibility of using slag as coarse aggregate cannot be overlooked. In the present study, ceramic tile waste and iron slag were used in concrete as a replacement for natural coarse aggregate with 0%, 10%, 50%, and 100% of the substitution, and M25 grade concrete was used. The concrete modulus was cast and tested for compressive strength after a curing period of 15 and 21 days.
