Abstract

Several researches have already been conducted about concrete with partial or full replacement of waste ceramic aggregate. From a previous study, it was found out that ceramic tiles can indeed replace natural aggregates at certain amount to achieve optimum compressive strength. However, these studies are only through lab-scale model set by different testing standard. This study focuses on the cost effect of concrete with 20% waste ceramic tiles as partial replacement of coarse aggregates in a project scale scope. The project considered was the two-story commercial structure, Filinvest Mall-Molino. Only the slab on grade, lean concrete, and concrete pavement was considered in the project. The actual material cost of the concrete was based on the bill of quantities (BOQ) provided by the Filinvest Alabang, Inc. (FAI). The cost of concrete with 20% waste ceramic tile as partial replacement of coarse aggregates of Php 555.00 which accounted the purchasing, hauling, production, and crushing processes cost. Also a windows forms application was created using Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 to determine the amount (kg) of ceramic tiles needed for the project. Using this application, the required amount of ceramic tiles id approximately 762,630 kg. The use of concrete with 20% waste ceramic tiles as partial replacement of coarse aggregates reduced the material cost by 20.34%. Furthermore, the total cost of concrete was reduced by 14.70%. Thus, it can be concluded that concrete with 20% waste ceramic tiles as partial replacement of coarse aggregates can reduce the cost of concrete in a project scale level.
