Mr. Mohamed GUENDOUZ was born on 06/08/1989 in the Medea City, Algeria. He holds a License in civil engineering building materials in 2010, a master’s degree in construction and materials in 2012 and a doctorate in building engineering and geotechnical hazards in 2017. He specializes in building materials. His field of research is essentially based on the recovery and recycling of waste in cement-based materials
This work aims to study the valorization and recycling of ceramic wastes (wall tiles) as a fine aggregate instead of sand in the manufacturing of flowable sand concrete (FSC). For this, the sand is substituted with the ceramic wastes at different dosages (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% by volume of the sand). The influence of the ceramic wastes addition on the physical (workability, density) and mechanical (compressive, flexural and elastic modulus) properties of FSC was studied. The results show that the use of ceramic waste as partial replacement of sand contributes to reduce the workability, bulk density and improves the mechanical strengths of FSC according to the use of 25% of wall tiles waste.
