LITERATURE SURVEY ON APPLICATION OF CERAMIC WASTE IN CONCRETE Rohan Dewangan M.Tech.

It is mostly obtained from the underground Abstract – Concrete is one of the important construction mining and extensive mining of rocks has reportedly causing damages to the environment. We also see that dependency on this source has led to high material costs also.
materials widely used around the world to develop infrastructures and it is also one of the major factor affecting economies. Infrastructural development is at its peak all over the world and is a symbol of growth for any country. The production of concrete consumes lots of natural resources, which releases CO2 into the atmosphere and thus leads to global warming. Due to the day-by-day innovations and development in construction field, the use of natural coarse aggregates is very high as well as production of solid wastes from the demolitions of constructions is also very high. Because of these reasons the reuse of demolished wastes came to reduce the solid waste and to reduce the depletion of natural aggregates. Ceramic is industrially processed by being cut, polished, and used for decorative purposes, and thus, economically valuable. During the cutting process, 20 - 30% of ceramic get wasted. Ceramic waste leads to a serious environmental problem as well. Therefore, the use of ceramic waste in the concrete production has increasingly become an important issue. Ceramic tile waste, which is obtained from construction sites, demolition sites, and manufacturing industries, has a negative impact on the environment. Recycling these ceramic tiles to produce concrete could be a useful strategy for preserving the environment and enhancing the concrete's inherent qualities. Ceramic waste concrete has economical and environmental advantages. It also makes concrete sustainable, but precaution needs to be required, especially for higher replacements that may influence the compressive strength and thus partial replacement is suggested.
Economical and Environmental Impact the evolution in the construction industry introduces several concerns regarding availability of natural coarse aggregate resources, as they are being rapidly depleted. Recent statistics showed the increasing demand of construction aggregate to reach 48.3 billion metric tons by the year 2015 with the highest consumption being in Asia and Pacific as shown in Fig. 1 (The Freedonia Group 2012). This increasing demand is accompanied by an increase of construction waste. As per survey, construction waste from European Union countries represents about 31 % of the global waste generation per year. Similarly, in Hong Kong, the waste production was nearly 20 million tons in the year 2011, which constitutes about 50 % of the global waste generation. Disposal in landfills is the common method to manage the construction waste, which creates large deposits of construction and demolition waste near the sites. After demolition of old infrastructure and buildings, the wastage is often considered worthless and disposed of as demolition waste.

1. INTRODUCTION Concrete is the most extensively used construction material, concrete made from blending coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, cement and water. Because of its high compressive strength and flexibility in structural forms, this blended material can be placed and moulded into any shape and size. Coarse aggregate is a prime material used for preparation of concrete and which plays a major role in
