Abstract
Research is being carried out on the utilization of waste products in concrete as a replacement of natural sand and cement. Such waste products included in this paper are the rejects from ceramic industries, mainly quartz powder and grog. Each of these waste products has significant effects on the properties of concrete. The use of waste products in concrete not only makes it economical, but also helps in reducing waste disposal problems. In this paper it is planning to replace both fine aggregate and cementitious material with the rejects from ceramic industries. After the physical and chemical analysis of quartz powder and grog, it will be able to identify its chemical and mineralogical composition. During the physical analysis like grain size analysis it is able to determine the utility size i.e. whether it can be replaced for sand or cement. In this paper both fine aggregate and cement is replaced with quartz and grog simultaneously and also fine aggregate alone is replaced with different proportions of quartz and grog . After the experimental analysis and testing an optimum replacement of 5% fine aggregate and 5% cement is possible. It is also found that compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of replaced specimens increases up to 25% replacement of fine aggregate without replacing cement .
