Abstract

ABSTRACT: The coarse aggregate replacement in part with crushed waste ceramic tiles was explored at varying percentages, ranging from 10% to 50%. Simultaneously, granite powder and ceramic tile powder were employed as substitutes for fine aggregate, each at a 10% replacement rate alongside the ceramic coarse tiles. As a result of continuous innovations and advancements in the construction industry, there has been a significant rise in the utilization of natural aggregates. The generation of solid waste from construction demolitions has also witnessed a substantial increase. Research indicates that approximately from 20% to 30% of materials produced in manufacturing plants end up as waste. To address the constraints of natural aggregate resources and mitigate construction waste, there is a pressing need to repurpose this waste material. Concrete of M25 grade was designed and subjected to testing. Mix designs for different combinations were formulated by altering the percentages of crushed tiles and granite powder in both coarse and fine aggregates. Experiments were conducted on several concrete mixes using variable volumes of discarded shattered tiles and granite powder during seven, fourteen, and 28 days of curing. These examinations included “workability assessments, compressive strength tests, split tensile strength tests, and flexural strength tests”. The results show that larger replacement percentages of granite powder and crumbled tiles boost workability. Additionally, the strength of the concrete exhibited an improvement, particularly with a 30% replacement of ceramic coarse tile aggregate. Explore the use of advanced ceramic composites with improved mechanical properties and durability for enhanced performance in concrete. Investigate the potential use of recycled ceramics or explore novel production methods that reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with sustainable construction practices.

用陶瓷砖部分替代骨料优化混凝土强度，实现可持续建筑

摘要：探讨了用碎废瓷砖替代部分粗骨料的方法，替代率从 10%到 50%不等。同时，还采用了花岗岩粉和瓷砖粉作为细骨料的替代品，与陶瓷粗砖的替代率各为 10%。由于建筑行业的不断创新和进步，天然骨料的利用率显著提高。建筑拆除产生的固体废物也大幅增加。研究表明，制造厂生产的材料中约有 20% 至 30% 最终成为废物。为了解决天然骨料资源的限制和减少建筑垃圾，迫切需要对这些废料进行再利用。我们设计了 M25 级混凝土并对其进行了测试。通过改变粗骨料和细骨料中碎砖和花岗岩粉的比例，制定了不同组合的混合设计。在 7 天、14 天和 28 天的养护期间，使用不同数量的废弃碎瓷砖和花岗岩粉对几种混凝土混合料进行了试验。这些试验包括 "工作性评估、抗压强度测试、劈裂拉伸强度测试和抗折强度测试"。结果表明，花岗岩粉末和碎瓷砖的替代比例越大，可加工性越好。此外，混凝土的强度也有所提高，特别是在陶瓷粗砖骨料的替代率达到 30% 时。探索使用具有更好机械性能和耐久性的先进陶瓷复合材料，以提高混凝土的性能。研究再生陶瓷的潜在用途，或探索可减少能源消耗和温室气体排放的新型生产方法，以符合可持续建筑实践。关键词：陶瓷砖；花岗岩粉；M25 级；机械性能；固体废弃物；可加工性
