Abstract
To suggest an alternative raw material for concrete, its role in the hydration mechanism and water durability characteristics is required to be understood. This article assesses the water based durability properties of concrete containing bone china ceramic fine aggregates (BCCFA). For this study, BCCFA was utilised as 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% partial replacement of fine aggregate. The hydration products were assessed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The water based properties of concrete such as percentage voids, apparent density, water absorption, water permeability (DIN) and chloride ion permeability were obtained for concrete samples. The results indicate that up to 40% BCCFA can be used for structural applications.
