Abstract

Sand is the main compoment in the production of concrete. With this, a study regarding the possible alternative to sand may be very useful. One material that can be considered as a good substitute o sand is ceramic. Ceramic are known to be composed mainly of clay which is applied with very high amount of heat. With this, ceramics can serve as a good pozzolanic material that can be included in the concrete mix. This study is focused on the evaluation of the effect of ceramics to the durability of the concrete that will be mixed with the said material. Durability is considered in this study since it is also a very important factor to conclude if a material can effectively improve the concrete properties or not.Five different fractions of ceramic substitution ()5, 5%, 10% 15%,and 20%) were used and five concrete samples were made for each set. All the 25 samples had a normal water-to-cement ratio of 0.5, 28-day curing period,60-day salt ponding period, and were sprayed with 0.1 mol/L silver nitrate solution. The depth of color change within the split surface of the ample was evaluated per specimen and per set. This color change accounts for the area penetrated by chloride. The results show that incorporating ceramics at higher fraction of the concrete mix produced a smaller penetration depth than that of the controlled specimen.
