EFFECT & STRENGTH OF CHARACTERSTICS OF HCl ON CERAMIC AGGREGATE CONCRETE

B.Sandhya Rani, Dr.K.Rajasekhar


The word "ceramic" was originated from the Greek word “keramos”, whose original meaning was “burnt earth Substitution of waste material in the preparation of concrete is a new concept for diminution of waste. Now a day’s wastage is increasing rapidly throughout the world. This wastage is to be properly dumped or properly utilized in production of eco-friendly substances such as concrete. These days industries are increasing vastly with which waste is also being increased. The main aim of this work is to effectively use crushed ceramic waste as a replacement”. Present research mainly focuses on examine of aggregate properties of ceramic waste and also comparison of the properties of ceramic aggregate with natural aggregate. To study the feasibility of ceramic waste aggregate usage into the concrete. To study the effect of acid on ceramic aggregate concrete in fresh state. To study the effect of acid on ceramic aggregate concrete in hardened state. To study the strength loss, weight loss characteristics of concrete. Thus, needful conclusions have been taken based on the experimental results. A new concrete composition is produced with replacing the natural coarse aggregate by ceramic waste aggregate at 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%. All test results of ceramic aggregate concrete are compared with reference concrete by which it concludes the suitability of ceramic aggregate into the concrete. Also water is replaced with hydrochloric acid at 5, 10 percentages and finally workability and strength is compared with conventional concrete.
