Title: Masonry mortar and concrete producing with recycled ceramic aggregate producing
Abstract: As the most commonly used building materials in the world,the concrete is consumed by 3 billion m3 per year,which has caused increasingly serious problems as it needs large quantity of natural resources(especially sand and stone).Making the recycled aggregate by crushing the ceramic wastes so as to replace the natural sand in preparing masonry mortar and concrete is studied,comparison is also conducted between the major performances of such concrete,the natural sand and the concrete made of natural aggregate.Results show that the recycled ceramic aggregate is of good performance and can fully replace the natural sand to prepare masonry mortar and concrete which achieves environmental pollution abatement and resources recycle.Thus social and economic benefits can be obtained.
