Abstract

Westernization and population increase has resulted in the gradual increase of e-plastic waste filling out the entire globe, which is a global concern. Green concrete production with the help of waste materials is one of the solutions. Efforts have to be made to undertakes a systematic study of M20 grade concrete with various proportions of E-plastic waste as fine aggregate in the concrete. This paper presents the results of an investigation to study the performance of concrete prepared with electronic plastic waste (E-plastic waste) as part of the fine aggregate. The initial trail mix proportions for choosing an effective and efficient certain percentage to replace the fine aggregate by 0% of E-plastic aggregate up to 25% replacement by volume of the fine aggregate. The test results showed that a substantial improvement in compressive, split tensile, and flexural strength was achieved in the E-plastic concrete compared to conventional concrete.
