In order to reuse and so to reduce the volume of the ceramic waste which occurs during the production of ceramic, it is possible to use as aggregates in the production of concrete. Ceramic wastes are produced as a result of the ceramic processing. These wastes cause soil, air and groundwater pollution. The pollutant of ceramic industry which are mud and tile are coming from the ceramic plant’s refinery systems are stored in the waste disposal site of the plant (HKoyuneu et al, 2004). Ceramic waste can be transformed into useful coarse aggregate, The Properties of ceramic waste coarse aggregate are well within the range of the values of concrete making aggregates. The properties of ceramic waste coarse aggregate concrete are not significantly different from those of conventional concrete. The use of ceramic waste coarse aggregate concrete has increased because it has various advantages over other cementitious materials (H.Binici, 2007). The aim of this study was to produce 30/37 (28-day cubic compressive strength of 37 MPa.) quality concrete with ceramic tile waste. Approximate conerete composition is given in Table 3. The mixture is designed according to the absolute volume method given by Turkish Standard TS 802. ‘Three concrete mixes were prepared using the mix design according to TS EN 206. One mix is a reference concrete mix (labeled as ‘REF’) containing only natural crushed stone aggregate whilst 2 concrete mixes (FTWA, FTWD+FTWA) were prepared which are given in Table 1.

The data in Table 2 indicate that the specific density and water absorption rates of the coneretes. The best water absorption value (1.394 %) was displayed by FTWA concrete. The specific density varied from 2.362 kg/m’ to 2.078 kg/m? from 1.997 kg/m’, for the REF concrete, FTWA concrete, FTWD+ETWA concrete respectively. Table 2.

REF concrete has better strength value than FTWD+ETWA concrete. Compressive strength value 28 days curing of FTWD+FTWA concrete does not correspond the requirements of TS EN 206-1 standard which is 37 MPa for C 30/37. Based on the experimental results obtained from this study, the following conclusions can be drawn, © The compressive strengths of FTWA concrete for each of the three curing time is higher than the other two concrete types. The best water absorption value (1.394%) was displayed by FTWA concrete, The best water absorption value (1.394 %) was displayed by FTWA concrete. The specific density varied from 2.362 kg/m’ to 2.078 kg/m’ from 1.997 kg/m*, for the REF concrete, FTWA concrete, FTWD+FTWA concrete respectively. © This research provided experimental confirmation of the promising potential of new construction material using as raw material concrete production © Ceramic waste can be transformed into useful crushed stone aggregate instead of coarse aggregate. The properties of ceramic waste coarse aggregate are well within the range of the values of concrete making aggregates. This experimental study indicates that the recycling of ceramic waste as coarse aggregates for the production of nonstructural concrete artefacts is feasible. 154 CRETE 2012-3 International Conference on Industrial and Hazardous Waste Management
