САВРЕМЕНИ КОМПОЗИТИ ЗА ЗИДАЊЕ СА КЕРАМИЧКИМ ПРАХОМ

The work consists of a research and a practical part. The research part provides insight into the types, origins, quantities, management, and possible applications of construction and demolition waste. The practical part discusses the origin, properties, and application of ceramic waste as a by-product during the production of ceramic materials. Special attention is given to the use of ceramic powder as a cement substitute in the production of innovative, eco-friendly mortars for masonry and plastering. Own experimental research included the characterization of materials and testing of the properties of fresh and hardened mortar on 10 different mortar mixtures, in which the volume ratio of solid components and the level of cement substitution with ceramic powder (up to 80%) were varied.
