Abstract:

Population growth by leaps and bounds followed by industrialization and a dynamic change in amount of waste generated. These hazardous and other wastes pose a great threat to the human health and environment. The issue of proper management of wastes, therefore, is critical to the protection of livelihood, health and environment. The feasibility studies related to the use of recycled e-waste & plastics as coarse aggregate in concrete are discussed here. Tests were conducted to determine the properties of plastic and e-waste as a coarse aggregate (2.5, 5, 7.5 & 10%) such as density, specific gravity ,water absorption, compressive strength and tensile of the different concretes, were investigated and analyzed in comparison to the control concrete.

Keywords:

E-waste, Plastic Waste, Combination of E+ plastic Waste, Compressive Strength, Replacement of Coarse Aggregate.
