Abstract

India is a prodigious country, with a huge population almost second in the world, will increase from China by the middle of this century. In India, majority of the population is much younger, which have advantage of having substantial work force and epic development opportunities. India’s 12th Five Year Plan is pivoted on the growth of infrastructure facilities such as roads and highways, railways, ports and shipping, power stations, irrigation structures, oil and gas, communications, etc. As it is known that concrete is a prominent material which is used in almost all construction work. Today the world is fostering too fast and our environment is changing dynamically. Attention is being anchored on the environment, by preventing natural resources and emphasizing the use of waste materials. Ceramic is used in many forms in day-to-day life. It has slender life, after use it becomes waste which is sent for landfills. Here in this paper, an attempt has been made to examine the suitability of replacing various percentage of waste ceramic obtained from Morbi-Wankaner belt (Gujarat) as a partial replacement of aggregate and waste fiber metal obtained from Rajkot city (Gujarat) as an additive in concrete. Examine strength such as splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete (M25 grade) are found for 7 and 28 days, their results are analyzed and compared with conventional concrete. The experimental results reveal covenanting use of this waste ceramic metal concrete (WCMC) as a pavement concrete by retarding the depletion of natural resources and safeguarding environment from wastes.
