Abstract - Due to continuously increase in development in
construction field, the use of natural material is high and at
same time production of waste tile from construction sites and
shops is also very high. Because of these reasons the reuse of
waste tiles came into picture to reduce solid waste and to
reduce the load from natural materials. Crushed waste tiles
sand were replace in place of natural sand by 20%, 40%, 60%,
80% and 100% foe M30 grade of concrete and also replacing
cementious material by 20% using fly ash in concrete.
Experimental study like Workability Test, Characteristic
Strength of Concrete and Durability Test for different concrete
mix after 28 days curing period. It is observed that,
replacement of waste tile sand to natural sand gives good
result for concrete.
Key Words: Waste tiles sand, Natural Sand, Fly ash,
Workability Test, Characteristic strength, Durability Test.
1. INTRODUCTION
In past decade, variable cost of natural sand used as fine
aggregate in concrete increased the cost of construction. In
this situation research began for inexpensive and easily
available alternative material to natural sand. Some
alternative materials have already been used as a part of
natural sand e.g. slag limestone and siliceous stone powder
were used in concrete mixtures as a partial replacement of
natural sand. However, scarcity in required quality is the
major limitation in some of the above materials. Now a day’s
sustainable infrastructural growth demands the alternative
material that should satisfy technical requisites of fine
aggregate as well as it should be available abundantly. On
this basis, crushed tile sand offers viable alternative. Crushed
tile sand has to satisfy the technical requisites like
workability and strength of concrete. Since the data on this
aspect of concrete using crushed tile sand is scarce, it is
necessary to investigate the concrete produced with crushed
tile sand.
The wastage related to tiles are created due to different
reasons like errors in construction, human activities,
careless handling, etc., also some of produced in
transportation and distribution. Also the most of waste is
produced due to the demolition of building. This waste is not
recycled in any form at present time. So they are useless and
causes an environmental and disposal problem.
The tiles are durable, hard and highly resistance to
atmospheric, chemical, physical and biological actions. This
properties of tiles is good and suitable for concrete. Hence
this project aims to study the utilization of tiles waste as
replacement of fine aggregate in concrete. This may help to
improve the quality of concrete, make it economical and also
solve the disposal problem.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
A work done by Sunilaa [1] was focused on replacement of
river sand using manufactured sand and quarry dust in
cement concrete. The materials used to prepare concrete
was Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC – 43 Grade), river sand,
quarry dust, quarry stone. Concrete design was prepared for
proportion of 1:1.23:2.58 at water cement ratio of 0.43.
River sand was replaced with quarry sand by 100% and
50%; and conducted Compression Test, Tensile Test, and
Flexural Test. The concrete block has been casted for curing
days of 7 days, 14 days, 28 days and 56 days. The result
suggested that 50% of river sand can be replaced by quarry
dust and manufactured sand to achieve strength of concrete
which also improves the quality of concrete.
Daniyal [2] the focus was on using waste ceramic tile
aggregate in concrete. Waste ceramic tiles, the grading were
done by natural aggregate to control concrete with
compactable with ceramic tile aggregate as per I. S. Code
383-1970. Then the experiment were done on natural
aggregate with ceramic aggregate as per I. S. 2386 (Part-VIII)
1960. The ceramic tiles aggregate is replaced with 0%, 10%,
20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% with natural coarse aggregate
with water cement ratio of 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 sample and
optimum percentage of ceramic tile aggregate as well as
water cement is determined. Then tests were conducted and
checked. The result of the test suggests that the workability,
density, compressive strength and flexural strength of
concrete with ceramic tile aggregate were achieved
satisfactorily.
An experimental study carried by Usha [3] was focused on
replacement of sand with crushed brick in concrete. Quarry
stone sand was used as alternative to river sand. Use of an
artificial sand instead of river sand in concrete saves the
40% cost. The aim of experiment was to assess the
properties of concrete made with crushed brick and study
various important properties such as Compression Strength,
