PROPOSED TITLE
The Role of Crush Waste Tile in Improving Durability and Strength in Mortar Fill Applications.
REASONS/JUSTIFICATIONS IN CHOOSING THIS TOPIC
1. To study how the unique properties of crushed tiles might enhance the durability of mortar,
leading to longer-lasting structures and reduced maintenance costs.
2. By utilizing crushed waste tiles as aggregates, this research supports the principles of
sustainability by reducing the need for natural aggregates and promoting the recycling of
construction waste.
3. To improve overall structural integrity, making buildings more resistant to environmental stresses
and natural disasters, which is crucial in disaster-prone areas.
EXPECTED CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GROWTH OF KNOWLEDGE IN
1. Innovative Use of Recycled Materials since this research will expand the understanding of how
recycled waste tiles can be effectively used as fine aggregates in mortar, providing a viable
alternative to traditional materials.
2. Sustainability in Construction by demonstrating how waste material can be repurposed
efficiently, potentially reducing the cost of raw materials in mortar production.

PROPOSED TITLE
Innovative Use of Pulverized Recycled Concrete in the Production of Sustainable Hollow Blocks.
REASONS/JUSTIFICATIONS IN CHOOSING THIS TOPIC
1. By using pulverized recycled concrete, this research promotes recycling and reduces the demand
for new raw materials, contributing to more sustainable construction practices.
2. Recycled materials, such as pulverized concrete, are often less expensive than newly produced
materials. This can potentially lower the production costs of hollow blocks, making construction
more affordable without compromising quality.
3. Exploring the use of pulverized recycled concrete in hollow block production could lead to the
development of new, innovative building materials that meet industry standards. This research
could pave the way for future studies on alternative and sustainable building materials.
EXPECTED CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GROWTH OF KNOWLEDGE IN
1. Sustainable Construction Practices because this will expand knowledge on environmentally
friendly construction materials by demonstrating how pulverized recycled concrete can be
effectively used to produce hollow blocks, promoting sustainability in the construction industry.
2. Structural Integrity of Recycled Materials since this will evaluate the structural performance of
hollow blocks made from recycled concrete.
