Abstract:
Electronic waste is an emerging issue posing serious pollution problems to the human and the environment. The Disposal of electronic waste in an environment is considered to be a big problem due to its very low biodegradability and presence in large quantities. To rectify this environmental problem of disposing the E-waste, reuse of E-waste in concrete industry is considered as the most feasible application. This study focuses on the possibility of re-using E-waste that is now produced in large quantities in the formulation of concrete as a partial replacement of coarse aggregate along with the substitution of cement by fly ash. The work was conducted on M25 grade mix. Various cube specimens were casted with 5% replacement of coarse aggregate by e waste with fly ash ranging from 0-30% by weight of cement. Compressive strength test was conducted on the specimens after 7, 14 and 28 days of curing and the strength was recorded and compared with the strength of standard mix. The- E- waste is suitable to replace the coarse aggregate but not suitable as fine aggregate.
