摘要：In recent constructions, the consumption of ceramic materials is increasing day by day in the form o f tiles, sanitary fittings, electrical insulators etc. But a large quantity o f ceramic materials changes into wastage during processing, transporting and fixing due to its brittle nature. Therefore, using these wastes in concrete production could be an effective measure in maintaining the environment and improving the properties of concrete. Hence, the crushed waste ceramic tiles were used in concrete as a replacement for natural coarse aggregates with 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of substitution. After analyzing results, the optimum value of waste ceramic tile to be used within the concrete mix with a water/cement ratio of 0.5was determined as about 30%. The compressive and flexural strength of optimal concrete was found 5.43% and 32.2% higher than reference concrete respectively. The findings revealed that using waste ceramic tile lead to enhancing the properties of concrete.
