Abstract
- Marble floor tiles can be investigated because they are similar to tile waste generation and are also quite hard when compared to natural crushed stones used in typical concrete.
- The use of granite powder as an additive in concrete to increase workability and strength parameters can be investigated at various percentages.
- The impact of different tile combinations in varying amounts in concrete on concrete qualities such as strength, workability, and so on can be determined.
- The physical features of ceramic tile aggregate in concrete, such as durability and permeability, are improved. It can be analyzed to prepare a concrete with more advantageous than conventional concrete.
- A study of the qualities of concrete created using a mix of recycled aggregate and tile aggregate in various proportions might be conducted to improve the concrete's properties while simultaneously reducing pollution and waste generated by the construction sector.
- A further investigation on the use of granite powder alone as a replacement to fine aggregate can be carried out the possibility of using such waste generation from industries.
- The mechanical properties of concrete with marble aggregate (waste) either from manufacturing units or from construction demolition can be investigated to improve the properties like permeability; resistance to sound can also be studied.
- Ceramic tile aggregate in high strength concrete can be studied further to check the possibility of its use in high rise buildings.
