Abstract
Production of cement in construction industries is one of the major contributors on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Finding solutions to reduce the amount of GHGs emitted is necessary to have a more sustainable future. In this study, cement has been partially replaced with powdered ceramic tile waste (PCTW) of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by mass. Each batch was composed of 10 specimens, five cylindrical concrete specimens per batch was subjected to split tensile strength test while five concrete beam specimens were subjected to flexural strength test. The results of the tests showed that both split tensile and flexural strength peaked at 5% replacement while replacement beyond 5% decreased both strengths. However, the decrease on both split tensile and flexural strengths were insignificant. The split tensile strengths of concretes with 5% and 10% PCTW replacements were within the typical strength of a normal Portland cement concrete. On the other hand, the flexural strengths of all concrete specimens were within the typical strength of a normal Portland cement concrete.
