Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibility of using certified recycled electronic waste in place of coarse aggregates in construction. The term E-waste refers to electronic waste, which includes electronic products that are no longer useful to their owners, are no longer functional, or have reached the end of their useful life. In today’s information technology age, consumption of electronic equipment such as mobile phones, laptops, and LED lights has increased manifold, resulting in massive amounts of obsolete products, or e-waste. Direct disposal of e-waste can wreak havoc on the environment. Previously, numerous research studies concluded that e-waste could be used in place of coarse aggregates in rigid pavements. The effect of incorporating grinded PCB (Printed Circuit Board) sheet by partially replacing coarse aggregates up to 20% with a constant interval of 5% was evaluated in this study, and the resulting compressive strength was compared to that of conventional concrete.
