Strengthening of Pervious Concrete by using of Ceramic Tiles and Fly Ash

Abstract

Pervious concrete may be used in pavements because it allows water to permeate into the soil,recharging groundwater and lowering storm water runoff, resulting in an eco-friendly surface.Environmental change, global warming, and the management of industrial waste are theconcerns of the hour. Environmental concern is becoming increasingly important in civilengineering because of the population boom, large constructions, and extensive use of industrymaterials such as aggregate and cement. As a result, research is being conducted around theworld to develop a substitute for aggregate and cement. Because ceramic tiles and fly ash areindustrial waste products, their disposal causes challenges for industries and the government,but because they have cementitious properties, their usage in the civil engineering industry cansolve both issues. The experimental examination being conducted in the current study looks atthe partial replacement of ceramic tiles and fly ash in pervious concrete. With variations of 0%,10%, and 20%, respectively, aggregate is partially replaced by ceramic tiles and cement ispartially replaced by fly ash. The specimens are put through tests including compaction factorand compressive strength, and the conclusions are explained in this study. We observed thatceramic tiles and fly ash can be use as a construction material in pervious concrete because of itsincreased strength by partially replacement of both of these materials (ceramic tiles and fly ash).It is suitable and better for applications such as parking areas, pavements, tree grates insidewalks etc
