| Summary: | In accordance with conservation efforts, this research focuses on ceramic tile waste as
partial coarse aggregates replacement for concrete production, prevention of environmental
pollution with considering the elements of sustainable and cost-saving construction
projects, especially material usage. Moreover, many of the construction industry in
Malaysia produce construction waste that contributes largely in solid waste. Utilising
ceramic tile waste, this research will focus on ceramic wastes obtain from the construction
industry in Malaysia. Presently, much of ceramic industries production goes to waste,
which is not undergoing the recycle process yet. A total forty cubes with the same
dimensions (100 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm) were cast with five different proportion. Eight
cube as one type of control proportion that is 0 % percentage of ceramic waste as partial
replacement of coarse aggregates and the remaining 32 cubes are 5% ,10 % ,15% and 20%
of ceramic as partial replacement of coarse aggregates. Besides that, all other parameters
are constant. The concrete cube were tested as destructive test at last which is compression
test that to find out compressive strength of specimens of hardened concrete at 3 days, 7
days and 28 days .Before undergoing the destructive test, the performance of the concrete
was determined by undergoing slump test, compressive strength test, Ultrasonic Pulse
Velocity test, Rebound Hammer test and water absorption test. From the results of the
study, samples of concrete with 15% ceramic coarse aggregate replacement (A4) has
reached optimum strength. Findings showed that concrete containing Ceramic Tile 15%
showed the highest amount of strength compared with other specimen. Addition of 15%
ceramic material has led to compaction of concrete structures in ceramics and exhibit low
water absorption rate. |
