Waste ceramic as partial replacement for sand in integral waterproof concrete: The durability against sulfate attack of certain properties

Abstract Nowadays, the use of waste materials in concrete production is crucial for a clean environment and less cost. This study aimed to enhance some mechanical properties utilizing integral waterproof (IWP) admixture using ceramics as fine aggregate with finer particles improve compressive strength modulus elasticity absorption studied. Studies indicate increase by IWP only also reduction ceramic powder replacement normal sand, more advantages were achieved, i.e., increased from 41.7 47.8 MPa replacing sand waste, 25.22 29.61 GPa. The lowered 1% while it was 1.96% without waste. Durability against sulfate attack studied this research.
