Feasibility of Using Clay Ceramic Residue in Substitution of Washed Sand for Concrete Manufacturing

TL;DR: In this paper, clay ceramic wastes, such as broken bricks and tiles, obtained as civil construction residues, were used in substitution of washed sand currently applied in concrete fabrication, and a 30% substitution presented, within the standard deviation, a smaller strength to the concrete with comparable trace of sand, but still complying with the norm.
