Abstract: Concrete has several appealing characteristics that have made it as a widely used construction material. It is the material of choice where strength, performance, durability etc., are required and concrete is undoubtedly most versatile construction material. The present study aims at utilization and to ascertain the suitability of tile aggregate as partial replacement to coarse aggregate in normal pervious and blended concretes. The utility of partial replacement of tile waste as aggregates along with partially replacing OPC by fly ash is also addressed in the current work. The strength performance of these concretes (Tiled waste based, tiled waste based pervious, and tile & fly ash based blended concretes) with conventional concretes is studied and important findings are reported.

Keywords: Clay tile aggregates, fly ash, replacement material, pervious concrete
