Abstract:
The Waste materials Utilization of construction industry by-products is a sustainable solution to ecological and environmental problems. Use of such waste materials makes their reutilization in cement-concrete, RCC and other construction materials, and also the cost of cement and concrete manufacturing is reduces. Other indirect benefits of e-waste include reduction in landfill cost, saving energy and reduction in solid waste. E-waste consists of discarded refrigerators, TVs radios, Mobile phones, Air conditioners, computers and several other electronic gadgets that have reached end of life their or become a obsolete. Efforts are being made in the construction industries to use non-biodegradable components of Electronic waste as a partial replacement of the fine or coarse aggregates in concrete. The main aim of this study is to investigate the change in mechanical properties of concrete with the addition of Electronic waste in concrete. It is found that the use of Electronic waste aggregates results in the formation of light weight concrete. In this research article Coarse aggregate is partially replaced by E- waste from 0% to 30% Then in these mix 10%, 20% and 30% of fly ash is also added by partial replacement of cement. It is thereby suggested that utilization of this Electronic waste in concrete will reduce the requirement for conventional coarse and fine aggregates thereby resulting in conservation of natural resources.
