This document summarizes a final project seminar presented by Lokesh Shirbhate on using ceramic waste and coconut shells as partial replacements for coarse aggregate in concrete. The project tested concretes with 5%, 10%, and 15% replacements and found that workability increased with replacement while compressive and flexural strength decreased linearly up to 15% replacement. It was concluded that coconut and ceramic wastes can effectively replace up to 15% of coarse aggregate, making concrete more economical and providing an outlet for waste materials. Future work may explore using these light weight concretes in construction applications.

3.  In developing countries where concrete is widely
used, the high and steadily increasing cost of
concrete has made construction very expensive.
 Due to extensively use of concrete which lead to
an increase in cost of materials.Therefore an
alternate materials is used for partial
replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete.
 This project is experimented to reduce the cost
of concrete.

4.  Today Ceramic has become synonymous with
flooring.
 In Ceramic industry, About 30% Productions go as
Waste.
 The use of waste products in concrete not only
makes it economical but also solves some of the
disposal problems.
 However, the ceramic waste is durable, hard and
highly resistant to biological, chemical, and physical
degradation forces.
 This Presentation is Describe the behavior of
concrete after the use of Ceramic tiles in concrete as
a replacement of coarse Aggregate.

5.  Coconut shell are not commonly used in the
construction industries but are often dumped as
agricultural wastes.
 The use of coconut shell can also help the
prevention of the environment.
 Coconut Shell concrete has superior workability
because of the smooth surface on one side of the
shells.

‘Partial Replacement Of
Aggregate With CeramicTile
In Concrete’ ‘(G.Sai Chand1,
P.Ravi Kumar2)
May 2017
Due to the day to day innovations and
development in construction field, the use of
natural aggregates is increased tremendously and
at the same time, the production of solid wastes
from the demolitions of constructions is also quite
high.

‘Partial Replacement of
Coarse Aggregate byWaste
CeramicTile in Concrete’ (M.
Sekar)
March 2017
In this study an attempt has been made to find the
suitability of ceramic coarse aggregate as a
possible substitute for conventional aggregate in
concrete. The ceramic industry is known to
generate large amounts of calcined-clay wastes
each year

‘Study On Strength Properties
Of Coconut Shell Concrete’
(Kalyanapu Rao)
March
2015
the aim of this work is to provide more data on the
strengths of coconut shell concretes at different
coconut shells (CS) replacements and study the
transport properties of concrete with coconut
shells as coarse aggregate replacement

11.  Ceramic scrap is collected from ceramic tiles
industries and construction sites.
 Ceramic scrap passed from 20mm sieve and
retain on 12.5mm sieve is used.

12.  Coconut shells are collected from various temples.
 Coconut shells passed from 20mm sieve and retain
on 12.5mm sieve is used.
 Coconut shells were sun dried for 24 hours before
using and crushed manually

15.  Slump ConeTest

16.  Cube of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm were casted using
M25 grade concrete with proper compaction.

24.  The workability of concrete increases with the
increase in tile aggregate replacement.
 The properties of concrete for 28 days decreased
linearly with the increase in coconut shell and
ceramic aggregate up to 15%replacement.
 Coconut and Ceramic waste can effectively be used
as alternative & supplementary materials in
concrete. Optimum replacement level of coarse
aggregate with waste is 15%.

25.  Light weight constructions units can be made by
using these wastes.
 Application of this concrete in Road work may be
Explored
 This has brought immense change in the
development of high rise structures using Light
weight concrete (Coconut Shells).
 The usage of marble floor tiles can be studied as it is
similar to that of tile waste generation and also it is
quite hard compared to the natural crushed stones
using in conventional concrete.
