Abstract

The report about the experimental investigation on using electronic waste as admixture in concrete as a good component for construction. An electronic waste like laptop, mobile phones which is 30% of alcofine takes as mineral admixture used to prepare a concrete for rubber industry. By checking the results of grinding, this gives the good result in grinding of electronic waste and is used in the part of concrete. Physical tests such as specific gravity, size identification test for alcofine, micro structure analysis using By performing strength tests for Mechanical properties and as a specimens cast with different percentages of E-Waste partial replacements such as 15%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45% by weight of cement. Finally the results obtained under cubes cast with 40% to 35% replacement of E-Waste for cement gives better strength performance when comparing with weight.
