Abstract:

Concrete is a mixture of cement, water and aggregates. It is widely recognized that proportioning and mixing of the constituents of concrete such as cement, sand and coarse aggregates and water are important steps in concrete making process. Quality control measures are expected to keep a check on the quality of concrete being produced. These include tests on wet concrete and hardened concrete. But due to large use of concrete as the construction material availability of raw material is being questioned. Therefore other replacing materials are need to be find out. E-waste like Printed Circuit Board is generating in very large quantity. So it is essential to dispose. The e-waste like non-metals part of PCBs can be recovered and can be use as a ingredient in concrete. So we can partial replace the material to achieve desire concrete in terms of their properties. This paper presents an overview on possible use of E-waste in concrete by the different researchers. There research shows strongly possibility of E-waste being used as substitute of fine aggregate. More use of this tends to decreases the use natural aggregates in concrete and it is of prime importance that substitute of fine aggregates can be explored.
