Implication

Randomized trial evaluates the impact of ceramic waste powder and magnetized water on concrete durability, suggesting a sustainable alternative to reduce cement use.

Key Points

This study aims to investigate the effects of burnt and unburnt ceramic waste powder combined with magnetized water on the mechanical properties and durability of concrete.
Evaluated fourteen concrete mixtures with ceramic waste powder at 10%, 20%, and 30% replacement for ordinary Portland cement.
Conducted compressive, tensile, and flexural strength tests at various time points along with sulfate resistance and thermal exposure assessments.
Utilized scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction for microstructural analysis.
MW showed consistent mitigation of mechanical property reductions caused by increased CWP replacement levels.
20% BCWP with MW achieved comparable 120-day compressive strength to conventional tap water mixtures.
Durability tests revealed only 16–28% compressive strength loss after sulfate attack for MW mixtures, significantly less than TW mixtures' 42% loss.
