Ceramic wall tiles are used as building material in the field of construction. Manufacturing of ceramic tiles require different raw material like clay, potash, dolomite, feldspar, talc and different chemicals like sodium silicate, sodium tripoly, phosphate (STPP) in ceramic production. The temperature in the kiln varies from 200.c to 1200.c.this variation of manufacturing; therefore there is a pozzolanic reactivity in such material.In ceramic industry about 5-10% production goes as waste in various processes while manufacturing (this waste percentage goes down if the technology is installed in new units.) this waste of ceramic industries dumped at nearby places resulting in environmental pollution causing effect to habitant and agricultural lands. Therefore using of ceramic waste powder in concrete would benefit in many ways in saving energy & protecting the environment. The cost of deposition of ceramic waste in landfills will be saved.Raw materials and natural resources will be replaced. Which indirectly helps for reducing the greenhouse gas(co2).there is a large amount of carbon dioxide released in the cement production. In this research study ceramic waste powder from ceramic wall tiles industry is used as replacement to cement in concrete in an incremental order like 0%, 10%.20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% by weight of cement in concrete for M 25 grade.
