Abstract
Concrete is a composite material made with cement, aggregates and water in construction industry. New innovations and developments in construction field, the global consumption of natural aggregates is increasing day by day and at the same time production of solid wastes from the manufacturing units and demolitions are also very high. The ceramic industry generates about 30 per cent wastes every year. Its massive part is used into landfill. Use of ceramic wastes in construction industry is very low because of absence of guidelines, prevention of risk, less information and skills. The water which is subjected to high intense and focused magnetic field is called magnetized water. Magnetic water shows significant results on workability, strength and mechanical properties of concrete. However, the research on ceramic wastes as partial substitute for coarse aggregate as well as the effect of magnetic water on compressive strength and workability of concrete has not been studied. This research has been concluded with focus on examining use of ceramic tile wastes as partial substitute for coarse aggregates and magnetic water can prove to be useful. This experiment contains the preparation of standard cubes of various concrete mixes of ceramic waste, magnetic water and tap water. In this project, we have attempted to replace the various proportions ceramic wastes as coarse aggregate with normal water and magnetic water, compressive strength and workability of the concrete was calculated as well as various properties of the ceramic waste and magnetic water are studied.
