Concrete is the widely used material in construction around the world and cement, a major constituent of concrete is being costly and only moderately available, researches or experiments are conducted to study the variations in the strength characteristics of concrete by replacement of cement partially or fully by cheaper or locally available materials. Ceramic waste is one of the most abundant waste material available now a days . Ceramic waste powder was formed in industries dumped away in open lands which results in environmental pollution, in addition to forming dust in summer and threatening both agriculture and public health. Therefore, use of the ceramic waste powder in various industrial sectors especially in the construction and glass industries would help to protect the environment. It is most essential to develop eco-friendly and nature free concrete from ceramic waste to protect environment from environmental pollution and the society. Which indirectly helps for reducing the greenhouse gas(co2).there is a large amount of carbon dioxide released in the cement production. In this research study the (OPC) cement has been replaced by ceramic waste powder accordingly in the range of 0%, 15%, 30% & 45%, by weight of M-25 grade concrete. Concrete mixtures were produced, tested and compared in terms of compressive strength to the conventional concrete. These tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties for 7, 14 and 28 days. This research work is concerned with the experimental investigation on strength of concrete and optimum percentage of the partial replacement by replacing cement via 0%, 15%, 30%, & 45% of ceramic waste. The aim of the investigation is to study the behaviour of concrete while replacing the ceramic waste with different proportions in concrete.
