Abstract

The demand for sustainable and high-performance concrete has intensified the exploration of industrial by-products and waste materials as partial replacements in conventional mix designs. In response to these concerns, this study assesses the feasibility of incorporating ceramic tile waste (CTW) as a replacement for coarse aggregates and micro silica (MS) as a partial binder substitute in the production of sustainable concrete. The binary mixes (M4) demonstrated the synergistic potential of combining micro silica and ceramic tile waste. Optimum values of 7.5% micro silica and 30% ceramic waste taken from the individual study in both cases for combined designated binary mix for M40 grade of concrete as strength enhanced compared to the reference mix. Additionally, microstructural densification due to reduced porosity enhanced the durability characteristics of the composite material. By utilizing industrial waste products, thereby addressing environmental challenges by lowering CO2 emissions and promoting circular economy by lowering the cost of concrete construction.
