The ceramic waste materials are often directly buried in the ground or placed in an open dump, and the accumulation of ceramic waste contributes to environmental pollution, which makes the recycling of ceramic waste quite urgent. Owing to the pozzolanic activity, excellent mechanical properties and durability, industrial ceramic waste is considered as a suitable substitute for cement or natural aggregates to fabricate renewable concrete. In this paper, the pozzolanic activity of ceramic waste and the workability, mechanical performance, and durability of ceramic concrete are discussed. In addition, the most recent research results pertaining to ceramic concrete are reviewed. Ground ceramic powder improves the workability, compressive strength, resistance to chloride penetration, and carbonation resistance of concrete to a certain extent. Concrete containing ceramic as the aggregate has a lower mechanical performance than ordinary concrete. However, the resistance to chloride penetration, freeze-thaw resistance, and high-temperature resistance of ceramic concrete are remarkable. Ceramic concrete is environmentally friendly, requires fewer energy resources to manufacture than ordinary concrete, and has excellent engineering properties. However, further research is required for future engineering applications.}, DOI = {10.32604/jrm.2022.023290} }
