Abstract

In concrete the problem is in availing the materials. It is due to the scarcity or their high cost in the market. Many researchers have found alternatives to the ingredients which succeeded in terms of durability, Strength and low cost like coconut shell, ceramic tile, recycled aggregates, saw dust, m โ€“ sand, rice husk, etc. Hence, this research paper presents the use of ceramic tile concrete with addition of coconut fiber, use of fiber in this study is to restrict cracks in the concrete. Ceramic tiles are partially replaced in 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% to this, the compression, tensile, flexural and impact resistance of concrete are found out. 15% the optimum ceramic tile content considered for further work of adding coconut fiber in 1%, 1.5% and 2% in ceramic tile concrete. The results obtained were at 1% addition of coconut fiber and when observed the increase in quantities of ceramic tile and coconut fiber were resulted in poor strength performance. In addition to this the bonding ability of ceramic tile and fiber in concrete is observed using nano particular tests which determines the particle distribution and its bonding with cement which seems better in resisting the crack development
