| Abstract: |
Reusing ceramic tile waste as a fine aggregate substitute is a significant step in enhancing sustainability in the construction sector. This study aims to analyze various mortars incorporating different percentages of fine aggregate replacement with Ceramic Tile waste in a nano-silica blended mortar. A comprehensive analysis has been conducted on various properties, encompassing flow table test, compressive strength, flexural strength, hygric characteristics, pulse velocity, drying shrinkage, and microstructural characteristics. The results indicated that workability decreased by 42.7% as the Ceramic Tile Waste percentage increased, while the mortar mix of 1.5A30 exhibited a 22.6% enhancement in compressive strength compared to the control specimen, attributed to the formation of a dense microstructure and enhanced particle packing. However, the increasing trend of water absorption percentage has been observed up to 4.27% at 180 days for 100% replacement of Ceramic Tile waste. The incorporation of 30% and 100% Ceramic Tile waste resulted in an increase in drying shrinkage values of 3.6% and 9.1%, respectively, at 28 days compared to the control mortar, stabilizing thereafter with a slight increment until 56 days. This study underscores the significance of improving Ceramic Tile waste aggregate and demonstrates that replacing aggregate with Ceramic Tile waste can enhance sustainability in construction.
