Title: Influence of ceramic waste on the fresh properties and compressive strength of concrete
Abstract: This study investigated bone china ceramic waste as fine aggregates and its effect on the fresh state properties of concrete. The workability, fresh density, bleeding, air content and compressive strength were examined to assess the effect of bone china ceramic fine aggregate on the properties of concrete. The water absorption of bone china aggregate incorporated into concrete mixtures is also discussed. In the fresh state, the concrete mixtures prepared using 100% bone china aggregate showed 2.1% bleeding water loss. The incorporation of 100% bone china aggregates as fine aggregate reduced the fresh air content by 7%. Comparable values were obtained for compressive strength on incorporation of bone china aggregate as fine aggregate.
