Experimental Study on the Properties of Green Concrete by Replacement of E-Plastic Waste as Aggregate
S. Arivalagan
Abstract
Due to the development of electronics industry the fast growth of electronic waste is generated in the developing countries leads dumping of waste is called as Electronic waste(E-Waste).The proper disposal of e-waste is the severe work in the latest trend in all over the world is the facing problem. That spoils the entire environmental situations that leads affect the human health and environmental soil conditions. The electronic wastes are identified as computer peripherals, wires, switches, electronic boards, chips etc., these are affecting the ground water also making contamination of water. In the this research work is mainly based on the how to use the e-waste properly to the construction materials without affecting the environment. As per the study it was found that recycle of e-waste from which made the green concrete and to help to the human and global from environment degradation. The research work is mainly based of the recycle of metallic portions in the e-waste and made the green concrete, to increases the mechanical properties of green concrete. The green concrete is made with partial replacement of e-waste 10%, 20% and 30% of coarse aggregate added with a water –cement ratio of 0.45. The green concrete specimens compared with conventional concrete, this result shows e-waste concrete increase strength upto 20%. From this it was observed that e-waste can use as replacement material of building constriction works also save the environment.
