Mechanical evaluation of sustainable concrete production from porcelain waste

Abstract

Concrete has witnessed a great development in recent years, representing the production of reliable types of concrete to withstand the applied loads, high durability, and ease of implementation, as the preparation of concrete has become from remnants (sustainable materials) due to its availability and cheapness in addition to ridding the environment of these materials. This research demonstrates the use of porcelain tailings as a fractional substitute for coarse aggregate, Studying effect adds partial replacement on mechanical properties such as flexural testing, tensile strength, and wet density and then compares them with the reference mixture. In this research, the percentage of replacement of coarse aggregate with porcelain waste from weight is 25%, 35%, 50%, and maintaining the ratio of water to cement at 40% it observes that produces concrete with high tensile and flexural strength at replacement percent 50%.
