The availability of natural aggregates such as stone chips is a particularly challenging issue nowadays. Ceramic materials are increasingly being used in new projects such as tiles, sanitary fittings, electrical insulators, and so on, due to ceramic’s fragile properties, which often break during production, shipping, and installation. So, ceramic waste is one of these materials that are probably cost-efficient to use as a substitution (0%, 25%, 50%, and 75%) for brick chips. This research examined the mechanical strength properties of ceramic tile waste (CTW) concrete, including its compressive strength and splitting tensile strength, and utilized a water absorption test to assess its durability and performance. This research used a mix ratio of 1:1.5:3 with a constant water-cement ratio (w/c) of 0.45, and a water-reducing superplasticizer named Conplast SP337 was used. For the mechanical and durability tests, a total of seventy-two (72) concrete cylinders of 100 mm × 200 mm were cast, cured, and tested at 7, and 28 days. Mechanical strength results revealed a significant increase of around 16.71% for 50% CTW concrete mixtures at the place of brick aggregates, and the water absorption performance improved with the incorporation of CTW in concrete mixes.
