Abstract

Concrete comes 2nd highest usable material in the construction industry. Conventional fine aggregate leads to the mining of rivers and natural resource depletion. Fine and coarse aggregates are chemically inert; therefore, replacement of aggregate is possible with other inert materials that possess the same mechanical properties which fullfill the need for strength and durability criteria of concrete. Ceramic waste and stone dust are industrial waste having very limited utilization in the construction industry. Ceramic waste is also a large element of c&d waste produce by porcelain from material building demolition In this research, complete replacement of conventional fine aggregate is done with stone dust and then replacement of stone dust with ceramic waste is done as 10, 15, 20, and 25% by weight, to check the potential of stone dust and ceramic waste in complete replacement of conventional fine aggregate on the bases of durability and strength test, replacement of stone dust (SD) by ceramic waste (CW) leads to the increment in the compressive strength up to the optimum value of replacement as 20%. At the point of optimum replacement of stone dust with ceramic waste compressive strength is an increment of a maximum of 16.30%.
