Effect of Salt Water on the Compressive Strength of Ceramic Powder Concrete
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
The ceramic industry inevitably generates wastes, irrespective of the improvements introduced in manufacturing processes.This research examines the feasibility of using ceramic wastes in concrete and the effects of fresh and salt water environments on the compressive strength of the concrete. Inthis study the cement has been replaced with ceramic waste powder accordingly in the range of 0%,5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30% by weight for concrete which was cured for 56 days in two liquid media (fresh and salt water).The findings revealed that use of waste ceramic enhances the properties of concrete cured both in fresh and salt water media, based on the results from the compressive test, higher compressive strength occurred in concrete cured in salt water than fresh water. The results demonstrate that the use of ceramic powder asactive replacement endows cement with positive characteristics like major mechanical strength and the economic advantages. The concrete also exhibited a high compressive strength in both water bodies. Reuse of this kind of waste has economic and environmental advantages (onshore and offshore structures). Indirectly, all the above contribute to a better quality of life for citizens, introduce the concept of sustainability and greenhouse in the construction sector.
