This study investigates using ceramic tile powder as a cement replacement in concrete. It aims to determine the optimal mixing ratio to achieve properties equivalent to or better than conventional cement mortar.
This study focuses on the use of ceramic tile powder as a cement replacement material in concrete at an appropriate ratio. The objective is to investigate the properties of replacing cement with tile powder and to determine the optimal mixing ratio of tile powder in cement mortar that can yield properties equivalent to or superior to conventional cement mortar.
The experiment involved preparing cement mortar samples by replacing cement with two types of ceramic tile powder waste from tile manufacturing plants:
- Waste tile powder
- Rectified tile powder
The results of the study revealed that replacing cement with rectified tile powder provided the highest tensile and compressive strength, comparable to that of conventional cement mortar. Therefore, the use of ceramic tile powder as a replacement can enhance compressive strength while reducing cement usage, which has positive environmental implications by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions from cement production. Furthermore, this approach promotes the effective use of waste materials from the ceramic industry, contributing to the sustainability of the construction industry.
Objective
To study the properties and optimal ratios of tile powder as a cement replacement and to compare the performance of the resulting mortar against conventional cement mortar.
- To study the properties and optimal ratios of tile powder for replacing cement in cement mortar mixtures.
- To compare the performance of cement mortar replaced with tile powder at optimal ratios against conventional cement mortar.
