Abstract
In the past decade, the use of E-Waste is increased due to the increase in usage of electronic components to a greater extent. The large quantity of damaged Electronic printed circuit boards (E-PCB) is discarded into the environment without proper recycling treatment in many places. The reuse of E-PCB waste in the construction industry is the most common practice nowadays. The present study focused on partial replacement of bitumen with E-PCB waste to a certain percentage in the form of fine powder and non-metallic chips. The bitumen was replaced by the various percentage of E-PCB waste as a fine powder to attain the optimum value. The optimum value is used as constant to replace the coarse aggregate of bituminous mixes with E-PCB non-metallic chips. This study investigates the properties of bitumen (includes penetration value, ductility, softening point, flash & fire point, and industrial viscosity) and Marshall stability of various bituminous mixes. The replacement of bitumen with E-waste resulting in the improvement of Marshall stability and flow value of bitumen.
