Abstract

Electronic garbage is a growing concern that poses major environmental and human health risks. whose disposal is evolving into a difficult issue. The reuse of E-waste material in the concrete industry is thought to be the most practical application for addressing the disposal of vast amounts of E-waste material. The cost of typical coarse and fine aggregate has increased, forcing civil engineers to look for suitable substitutes. One such substitute for both coarse aggregate and fine aggregate is e-waste. Due to the lack of coarse aggregate needed to prepare concrete, an attempt was made to partially substitute E-waste with coarse. M30 grade mix was used for the project. The proportion of coarse aggregate replaced by E-waste in the range of 0%, 3%, 6%, 9%,12%, 15% and 18%. Electronic waste can also help to partially reduce the problem of rising construction material cost in this study save the material cost 2.35% 1m3 as compare to control mix.
