EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF CONCRETE BEHAVIOR WITH CERAMIC WASTE AS A PARTIAL CEMENT SUBSTITUTE AND SISAL FIBER REINFORCEMENT

Abstract

This project aims to evaluate the compressive strength and performance characteristics of concrete by partially replacing cement with ceramic waste and reinforcing it with sisal fibre. The objective is to promote sustainable construction practices by utilizing waste materials and natural fibres, thereby reducing cement consumption and enhancing the mechanical properties of concrete. The experimental study involves designing concrete mixes with 80% cement and varying proportions of ceramic waste at 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%, combined with sisal fibre at 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%, respectively. A control mix containing 100% cement without ceramic waste or sisal fibre is also included for baseline comparison. Concrete specimens are cast in standard cube molds and cured for 7 and 28 days. The compressive strength test is conducted as per IS: 516-1959 standards using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). This study highlights the potential benefits of using ceramic waste as a partial replacement for cement, which enhances the pozzolanic reaction, while sisal fibre improves crack resistance and reduces shrinkage. The combination of these materials aims to develop eco-friendly, cost-effective, and durable concrete, promoting sustainable construction by reducing cement dependency and recycling waste products effectively.
