What is it about?
This study aims to describe the experimental work to illustrate and evaluate the mechanical behaviour of concrete with waste ceramic (floor tiles) coarse aggregate. Concrete included the following materials natural fine aggregate (NFA), natural coarse aggregate (NCA) and waste ceramic aggregate (WCA). Concrete was prepared with WCA replacing in NCA in absolute volume percentage in of 0, 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100%. All the concretes were prepared with similarity aggregate size gradation and workability. In the hardened case, the concrete performance was evaluated by split tensile strength, compressive strengthen, flexural strengthen and combined flexural and torsion. The results show significant improvement in feasibility the partially replacement of NCA by WCA, in spite of the mechanical behaviour of concrete reductions with the rising replacement of NCA by WCA in case of compressive, tensile and flexure strength, whereas in case of combined flexural and torsion, it is increasing up to 20% replacement.

Why is it important?
The present study investigated the compressive, tensile, flexural and combined (flexural and torsional) strength of concrete made with a varying percentage of waste ceramic coarse aggregate.
Perspectives
On the basis of the experimental study it is found that less than 12% strength reduction up to 20% replacement is observed in tensile and flexural strength except compression, whereas for combined state, it is increasing up to 20% replacement. Therefore, it is concluded that the replacement up to 20% is highly appreciable.
