Strength and durability studies on high strength concrete using ceramic waste powder
B. Karthikeyan and G. Dhinakaran

 
Abstract
    This paper summarizes the study on effect of ceramic waste powder as partial substitute to cement in binary blend and along with silica fume in ternary blend high strength concrete in normal and aggressive environments. Strength parameters such as compression & tension and durability indices such as corrosion measurement, deterioration, water absorption and porosity were studied. Ceramic waste powder was used in three different percentages namely 5, 10 and 15 with constant percentage of silica fume (1%) as substitutes to cement in ternary blend high strength concrete was investigated. After a detailed investigation, it was understood that concrete with 15% ceramic waste powder registered maximum performance. Increase of ceramic waste powder offered better resistance to deterioration of concrete.
