| Abstract | This study focussed on establishing the physical and chemical properties of crushed ceramic and porcelain clay tiles for use as partial replacement of cement in production of eco-friendly concrete.Samples of ceramic and porcelain clay tiles were taken in accordance to BS 1881-101: 1983, which gives methods of sampling. Five kilograms of each material (ceramic and porcelain clay tiles) was picked from each of the five sampled sites within Kampala metropolitan area. The chemical composition of the ceramic and porcelain clay tile powder was determined using X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer method while the physical properties were determined using the ASTM C187 and ASTM C188. A comparison between the properties of the waste materials and cement was made to verify if its composition warrants it to be used as a pozzolan. The results show that the combined percentage of silica (SiO2), Iron Oxide (Fe2O3), and Alumina (Al2O3) for both crushed ceramic and porcelain clay tile powder was meeting the 70% minimum requirement of ASTM C 618 for a good pozzolan. |
