| Abstract |
| As the population throughout the world is on the rise, to meet consumer’s demands a significant amount of solid waste is producing and it needs large dump sites for disposal of this waste. Alteration of this solid waste into other alternative resources will lower the load on non-renewable resource materials and this can aid in reducing the landfills problem. Lots of studies have brought attention to the reutilization of solid waste in concrete manufacturing. Ceramic wastes have prompted great many interests in their sustainable uses in different fields. Ceramic polishing waste powder (CPWP), as a sort of waste in the ceramic industry, is produced during polishing process of ceramic tiles. This study investigate the effect of using CPWP with dosage of 5, 10, and 15% by weight of cement as a replacement of cement on properties of fresh and hardened concrete. Tests were done on fresh concrete to determine slump, initial and final setting time, as well as on hardened concrete specimens to determine compressive, flexural and splitting tensile. The results showed that 10% replacement level is the optimum level for enhancing mechanical properties of concrete. |
