Abstract: ABSTRACT [0023] The invention introduces an innovative sustainable concrete production system that utilizes ceramic waste powder derived from industrial and construction demolition sources as a partial replacement for natural fine aggregate in high-strength M40 grade concrete. This approach effectively tackles the environmental challenges of excessive river sand extraction and ceramic waste accumulation by transforming discarded ceramic materials into a valuable resource, resulting in concrete with enhanced mechanical properties and reduced ecological footprint. Through systematic partial replacements ranging from 5% to 25%, the developed mixes demonstrate superior performance, with the optimum 15% replacement level yielding significant improvements in compressive, flexural, and split tensile strengths compared to conventional concrete. The ceramic waste powder's pozzolanic characteristics and fine particle size contribute to denser microstructure and better durability while maintaining workability within acceptable limits. This invention promotes resource conservation, waste valorization, and cost-effective construction practices, making it a practical solution for sustainable infrastructure development.
