description The large bulk of ceramic waste nowadays leads to serious environmental problem since these materials are not reusable and recyclable. In second concern is related to the deterioration due to crack problem facing by concrete structure.

However, the natural sand as filler used in cement grout somehow needs another alternate material to substitute it due to depletion issue and has become expensive.
