AN EXPERI MENTAL EXPLORATION OF CONCRETE PAVEMENT USING ELECTRONIC WASTE AS A PARTIAL REPLACEMENT

Now - a - days t he production of electrical and electronic devices is the fastest growing sector worldwide. The rapid change in equipment features and capabilities reduces the life - time of consumer - oriented electronic devices. This waste stream of obsolete electronic equi pment is the base for electronic waste. E - waste, e - scrap or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment depict loosely discarded, obsolete or broken electrical or electronic devices. This research aims to investigate the use of recycled plastic components of E - wa ste in concrete used in Rigid Pavements . This is an alternative solution to administer the growing quantity of the E - waste. The strength properties of specimens were observed with the use of waste plastic in various percentages (5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%). The data presented in this paper showed that there is great potential for the utilization of wast e E - plastic fiber in concrete which can be cost effective a nd Eco - friendly.
