Experimental Study on Strength Behaviour of M30 Grade Broken Tiles Waste Concrete

In the design of concrete mix, cement, fine aggregates, and coarse aggregates are using for a past long period of time that involve essential role in designing of a particular grade of concrete. But nowadays, there is a lack in coarse aggregates. So, some of alternate new materials which are chose based on locally available of low cost materials are introduced for partial replacing of coarse aggregates to obtain same strength as that of the basic materials. In this research work, the analysis of partial replacement of coarse aggregate with 0%,5%,10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, and 40% of broken tiles wastes with maximum size of 20 mm used in the production of M30 a water–cement ratio of 0.45 is used. Experimentally analysis is conducted on fresh concrete for workability and hardened concrete tests conducted like a compression test and split tensile to evaluate the concrete strength, at different stages of curing time periods of 7 and 28 days. The results obtained shows the water–cement ratio improves the workability of the concrete, with the addition of ceramic wastes broken tiles materials up to 30%, this concluded that partial replacement of ceramic tiles waste despite performance in concrete decreases with increasing of replacement of ceramic wastes broken tiles materials.
