Abstract: In the contemporary existences the ceramic waste consumption have been urbanized a huge volume. Almost 15%-30% ceramic production goes as discarded. These wastes pose a challenging extent in the existing society, and it requires a proper form of management in order to accomplish the sustainable development. It is utmost important to develop a sustainable concrete from ceramic wastes. The ceramic waste is economical and it also improves the strength characteristics moreover a harmless clearance of waste material is protecting from contamination. In this investigation the ordinary Portland cement has been partially substituted as ceramic waste powder in the range of 0%, 15%, 30%, 35%, 40% and 45% by weight of M 20 grade of concrete. Recycle of this generous waste has improvement in cost-effective and eco-friendly, and decrease in the amount of typical spaces employed as refuse dumps. Hence in this study the ordinary Portland cement is been replaced by ceramic waste and the test on compression strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength of conventional concrete and ceramic replaced concrete are compared and the results is been tabulated.
