Abstract
Concrete is the most popular construction material and has a relatively high compressive strength and it does not crack under its own weight, but its tensile strength is much lower compared to its compressive strength. The compressive strength can be changed according to the water to cement ratio during concrete formation or mixing, while the tensile strength rises when additives are used, concrete needs reinforcing steel, and added to plain concrete, resulting in reinforced concrete. In other terms, concrete consists of sand or fine aggregate, gravel (which is a coarse aggregate), water, and cement (which is considered a bonding material), and it is a brittle material that needs reinforcement and also some admixtures to improve its low tensile resist. This research aims to increase and improve some mechanical properties of concrete by using waste tiles as coarse aggregate. The study includes replacing normal aggregates with waste tile and using them as crushed aggregate with 25, 50, 75, and 100% replacement. Studies show increment in compressive and tensile strength and flexural strength by using waste tile aggregate compared with ordinary concrete; compressive strength increased from 34.1 MPa for reference mixes without waste tiles to 39.8 MPa using waste tiles. The study included improving all mixes with polycarboxylate superplasticizer and gaining high strength concrete, especially mixes with 50, 75, and 100% waste tile aggregate; the compressive strength with totally waste tile replacement gave the highest value of compressive strength, which was 57.5 MPa, tensile and flexural strength also increased by using waste tile aggregate, and 100% replacement shows optimum values of mechanical properties in this study.
1 Introduction
Concrete is the most excellent material used in the construction projects all over the world, because of its low cost compared with the steel used in steel structures. Concrete is highly used in bridges, foundations, multi-story buildings, tower construction, houses, tunnels, water tanks, water pipes, sewerage structures, or even in repairs like cement pastes; this highly and large use makes concrete the best composite material in the world.
Using waste materials in concrete gives several benefits, such as reducing the total cost of concrete structures, less environmental pollution, and higher mechanical properties in concrete [1,2]. Tamanna and Sharma [3] studied the effect of replacing average aggregate in concrete with waste tiles as coarse aggregate and found that replacing leads to increasing compressive strength of concrete; Adehola and Kuye [4] studied the effect of using waste tiles as aggregate in concrete by replacing average aggregate with 10, 20, and 25% and gain improvement in compressive strength for all replacements. Ceramic tiles are used in other research studies as aggregate in concrete, and Amos [5] studied the use of ceramic as waste aggregate in mixes with grade 25 and found slight decrement in compressive strength. Magesh [6] used coarse and fine ceramic tiles as the replacement from average aggregate in concrete; the compressive strength increased from 28 MPa for control mix to 31 MPa for 50% replacement in his study, and the optimum dosage was 50%. Also, he gained increment in tensile and flexural strength by using waste ceramic tiles. Naveen [7] studied the use of waste tiles as aggregate in concrete for 10, 20, 30, and 40% replacements from average aggregate and got increment in compressive, tensile, and flexural strength by using waste tiles aggregate. Daniyal [8] studied the application of waste ceramic tiles as coarse aggregate in concrete, and found that coarse waste ceramic tiles improve the compressive strength of concrete up to 20% replacement. Shruthi [9] studied the compressive and tensile strength of concrete by using waste ceramic tiles and found out that the optimum ratio of replacement that gives maximum compressive strength was 30% from normal aggregates. Concrete is the most significant material worldwide and its properties differ from steel structures upon comparing the durability considerations and its fire resistance; all steel structures totally collapsed under fire, but concrete was not totally collapsed under fire, it is more durable, so, developing the concrete industry is our goal. This study aimed to use different percentages of replacements until 100% replacement of waste tiles as coarse aggregate in concrete. It modified all mixes with polycarboxylate (PC) superplasticizer to gain high-strength concrete.
2 Experimental program
2.1 Materials and mixes
Ordinary Portland cement is used in all mixes with a cement is used content of 600 kg for each cubic meter with mix proportion as shown in Table 1. Table 2 shows mix details improved with superplasticizer Type PC-200. Ordinary red sand used as fine aggregate in concrete with zone 3 sieve grading confirms Indian standards I.S-383 [10]. The sieve analysis of sand is shown in Table 3. Coarse aggregate was used with a maximum size of 20 mm in this study, and the sieve analysis of coarse aggregate is shown in Table 4. Waste tiles are used as replacement of coarse aggregate only with ratios of 0.0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%, and some properties of waste tiles are shown in Table 5. Figure 1 shows the waste ceramic after crushing it to use it as waste aggregate.

3 Results and discussion
Table 6 shows the mechanical properties of ordinary concrete mixes and mixes with 25, 50, 75, and 100% replacement of waste tile aggregates. The compressive strength increased from 34.1 MPa for reference mix to 39.78 MPa for mixes with 100% replacement; tensile strength also increased from 1.8 to 2.93 MPa. Flexural strength increased from 3.1 MPa to about 4.6 MPa by using 100% replacement, which can be attributed to the excellent properties of waste tiles that have excellent flexural and compressive strength and also low absorption; and also, the second reason is the sharp edges of aggregate that achieve an excellent bond with cement paste.

---|---|---|---|
Reference 1:1:1.8 | 34.15 | 1.81 | 3.12 |
25% waste aggregate replacement | 35.55 | 2.23 | 3.85 |
50% waste aggregate replacement | 37.06 | 2.54 | 4.27 |
75% waste aggregate replacement | 38.33 | 2.68 | 4.59 |
100% waste aggregate replacement | 39.78 | 2.93 | 4.90 |
Table 7 shows all mixes in Table 6 (same mix proportions) but improved with PC superplasticizer. Compressive strength is highly increased by using superplasticizer; it increased from 45.47 MPa for reference mixes to 57.5 MPa for 100% waste tile aggregates. From Table 6 it can also be seen that high strength concrete (exceeds 50 MPa) is achieved in waste tile aggregate concrete in this study, especially in 50, 75, and 100% replacement and that is a good achievement which makes concrete in less cost and higher mechanical property achievement and less environmental pollution due to using waste materials.

4 Conclusion
Using waste tiles as coarse aggregate improves the mechanical properties of normal concrete, giving several benefits such as less environmental pollution and less cost of concrete.
Compressive strength increased by using waste tiles as coarse aggregate; the compressive strength increased from 34.1 to 39.7 MPa for mixes with 100% waste tile aggregate.
Flexural and tensile strength also increased by using waste tile aggregate.
Modified mixes with superplasticizers improve the mechanical properties for reference mixes and waste aggregate mixes and lead to high-strength concrete.
Using waste materials in concrete can give more clean environment and less cost to concrete in addition to the improvements in the strength of concrete and that can make concrete more durable to environmental conditions such as change in weather heat or climate changes and durability against the freeze and thaw conditions and even durability to salty ground water or sulfate attack to concrete.
