Abstract
The escalating demand for concrete in construction, coupled with the environmental degradation caused by sand extraction, necessitates the exploration of alternative materials for sustainable construction practices. This study investigates the potential of utilizing Printed Circuit Board (PCB) waste as a partial replacement for sand in concrete production. This investigation is presented through experimental work to replace the sand by 10%, 20%, and 30% by volume. The applicability of the proposed mixes is demonstrated through a comparative analysis of the concrete fresh and hardened properties. This research contributes to the field of sustainable construction by offering a novel use for electronic waste, thereby mitigating the environmental impact of both the electronics and construction industries.
