Abstract
The aim of this project is to replace the aggregates in concrete including both fine and coarse partially with the porcelain material. Porcelain is a ceramic
material made by heating materials like kaolin, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200 and 1,400 °C. These materials are resistant to acids and chemicals as glass, but with greater strength. While transporting the porcelain from industry to market many porcelain utensils and cutleries breaks. These damaged porcelain materials end up in landfills since recycling those damaged materials is not
widely or effectively used. Moreover, it is negligible in terms of ecological balance
