Previous concrete is porous, allowing water to drain through and reducing runoff while promoting groundwater recharge. This research investigated the possibility of using ceramic tile waste as a partial replacement for natural aggregate in pervious concrete, aiming to reduce waste and environmental impact while maintaining the material's functionality. Chemical analysis revealed a high silica (SiO2) content in the waste, consistent with prior research suggesting its benefits for strength and durability. While some formulations showed promise, increasing ceramic tile waste content presented a trade-off with compressive strength. Permeability testing confirmed the successful creation of porous structures in all mixes, ensuring efficient water drainage, a key function of pervious concrete. These findings highlight the potential of ceramic tile waste for sustainable construction. However, careful mix design and waste selection are crucial to achieve a harmonious balance between the concrete's compressive strength, permeability, and the environmental and economic benefits of using recycled materials. Further research is recommended to explore methods for mitigating the negative effect of ceramic tile waste on compressive strength while maintaining essential permeability.
