A Review on Hardened Properties of Eco-Friendly Concrete Containing Ceramic Waste Powder

Increasing infrastructural development has resulted into continuous depletion of natural raw materials required for concrete works. Natural resource consumption has been steadily increasing. Many studies have been conducted in various laboratories to find substitute raw materials that can be used in place of cement. In this article an attempt to study the properties of concrete containing ceramic waste powder. Many researchers found out that the hardened properties of concrete containing ceramic waste powder as cement replacement was improved. The ceramic waste can be utilized as an alternative to cement replacement in concrete due to presence of high alumina and silica. Increase in durability properties were observed with the inclusion of ceramic waste in concrete by several researchers. Inclusion of ceramic waste in concrete production showed better mechanical and durability performance as compared to reference concrete up to a certain percentage replacement limit.
