EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON E WASTE CONCRETE AND COMPARING WITH CONVENTIONAL CONCRETE

Abstract

The solid waste management is regarded to be one of the fastest arising waste streams in the world, especially the waste from Electric and Electronic equipment’s (WEEEs). The waste utilization is sustainable solution to the environmental problem and use of waste materials reduces the cost of concrete in the production of house building environment. This paper presented an experimental work have been done to determine the effects of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) under the curing conditions of 2.1 pH in sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and 0.5 N in Hydrochloric Acid (Hcl) severally. The replacement percentages of RCA were 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% respectively. The partial replacement of RCA to achieve the mechanical properties (compressive and flexural strength) and chemical properties (corrosion resistance and alkali attack) of concrete by utilizing E–waste as compared with the ordinary conventional concrete. The present study aspire that the major work has been replacing of E–waste in the production of low cost concrete in civil engineering society.
