摘要：The aim of this project is to replace the aggregates in concrete including both fine and coarse partially with the porcelain material. Porcelain is a ceramic material made by heating materials like kaolin, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200 and 1,400 °C. These materials are resistant to acids and chemicals as glass, but with greater strength. While transporting the porcelain from industry to market many porcelain utensils and cutleries breaks. These damaged porcelain materials end up in landfills since recycling those damaged materials is not widely or effectively used. Moreover, it is negligible in terms of ecological balance. Thus, these porcelains are pushed to end up as a land waste. This project aim is to replace both the fine and coarse aggregates with the porcelain aggregates and then to study its properties and capability under the normal condition. The porcelain taken for this project is completely from the wastes and damaged pieces. Then it is cleaned with the sanitary liquid for the prevention of contamination and then crushed with the hammer and separated into coarse and fine particles using the sieve and then used for the partial replacement for aggregates in the concrete. The concrete prepared for the first phase includes the replacement of fine and coarse aggregate separately in different mixes of different proportions. Then in phase two both the coarse and fine aggregate will be simultaneously replaced by the porcelain, based on the best comparative result from the mixes of the phase one. 25% of fine aggregate and 35% of coarse aggregate is replaced simultaneously in concrete grade of M25, the test results shows that it gives an improved performance than a conventional concrete, improves its overall compressive and tensile strength.
