EFFECT OF SOLID CERAMIC WASTE POWDER IN PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND SORPTIVITY OF CEMENT MORTAR
Journal Title: International Journal of Civil Engineering and Technology - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Some of the most serious problems of the world today concern elimination of waste and finding a solution for reusing it. Large quantities of waste are generated from manufacturing processes and construction destruction works. Materials waste administration is one of the most important environmental interests in the world today and with the reduction of space for landfilling, waste employment has become an effective alternative to the disposal of waste. In this work, cement was replaced with ceramic waste powder (CWP) in the range of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, and 40% of cement weight and the fineness of the CWP used was below 75µm. After the moulding and curing processes, the specimen’s mortar was tested and compared with the conventional mortar in terms of compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strengths, and sorptivity test. The findings showed that the compressive strength attained was up to 35% as a result of replacing cement with CWP.
