Abstract:
E-waste is the rapidly increasing waste as the use of electronics by human are increasing in every hour. Electronic waste or E-waste describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronic devices which cannot be destined reuse, recycle, resale and disposal. A huge amount of earth space has been occupied by the earth space. E-waste is the less recycled waste material and the large produced waste material. Increased use of electronic waste in developing countries including our country may cause serious health and pollution problems. One of the effective method to remove E-waste is to use it for construction purposes. Aggregates in concrete are partially replaced by E-waste (treated or crushed) in certain percentages in M25 concrete and their properties are tested. By using E-waste in concrete, we are not only reducing the waste effectively from the earth but also decrease the use of sustainable construction materials that will lead to an economic construction. The review also includes research work that has been carried out to understand the effects on compressive strength and split tensile strength characteristics.
Keywords:
