Abstract Text | The ceramic wastes can cause strong damage to the environment. In this article, the experimental study was concentrated on the pozzolanic activity of household ceramic waste and clay bricks waste. The possibility of the partial replacement of Portland cement blended with ceramic waste powder without further heating treatment in different ratios was analyzed. The ceramic waste powder was mixed in samples in various ratios. The evaluation of the ceramic waste powder was performed by grain-size analyses using Laser granulometry, XRD, XRF, Frattini test and strength activity index (SAI) method. The results indicate that the pozzolanic activity of household ceramic waste was higher than that of clay bricks waste. The 15% of HC powder addition could be a possible upper bound for an effective substitution and may also be very cost-efficient for industrial application. |
