Abstract
This study used to focus on minimization of the usage of fine aggregate in the construction projects. Fine aggregate is not available for construction purpose and there is a very high demand for fine aggregate. To control this problem, the Electronic waste collected from Electronic waste plant is used as replacement for fine aggregate in the construction of building components. The need of this investigation is to reuse of polyisoprene (PVC Wires) deriving from e-waste used as a partial replacement for the fine aggregate to manufacture e-waste bricks which can be alternatively used for fly ash bricks. PVC is recovered from electrical cables in which copper is removed, ground and used as replacement of fine aggregate in 5,10 and 15%volume replacement. Tests like X-Ray Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy of the e-waste are carried out to understand its composition and molecular structure. The resulting bricks are mechanically tested. This experimental investigation resulted that the 10% replacement of E – Waste gives a maximum strength which is greater than normal sand bricks and fly – ash bricks. By using Electronic waste building components decrease the cost of construction of the project and also save the natural resources by replacing of waste in construction projects and reduce the hazards in the environment.
