Abstract:

E-Waste material is causing hazardous effect to the environment and human health. So, it is necessary to use it in those areas which can minimize its dangerous effect and can bring some positive result. Endeavors are made to use such type of waste material into concrete as a coarse aggregate or fine aggregate. This research paper is presenting an investigation on study of compressive strength of concrete by using E-waste as a part of coarse aggregate. Conventional Mix M-25 is designed as per the new guidelines of IS 10262:2009. The E- waste is broken into specific size and shape. Total 90 specimens were casted with and without using E-waste (1%, 1.5% & 2%) along with fly-ash and Poly Carboxylic Ether (Plasticizer). Compressive strength test was conducted on both type of specimen after 7 days, 14 days and 28 days of curing. The utilization of E-waste in the concrete is quite effective and compressive strength is increasing up to 2% replacement. This ensure that the use of E- waste in the concrete results into benefits, mainly the better waste management of such non-recyclable waste material, making the project economical and increasing the compressive strength of concrete.
