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. The
replacement percentages of recycled concrete
aggregate(RCA) were 0%, 5% & 7% respectively. The
partial replacement of RCA to achieve the mechanical
properties (compressive strength) and chemical
properties (corrosion resistance and alkali attack) of
concrete by utilizing E–waste as compared with the
ordinary conventional concrete.
Key Words: Electric and Electronic euipment’s (WEEES),
Recycled Concrete Aggregate(RCA), Compressive
strength, Workability.
1. INTRODUCTION
Concrete is that the most generally used man-made
construction material. It’s obtained by mixing cement,
water, aggregates and admixtures (if needed), in
required proportions. The mixture when placed in
forms and allowed to cure, hardens into rock – mass
referred to as concrete. The strength, durability and
other characteristics of concrete depends upon the
properties of its ingredients, on the proportions of mix,
the tactic of compaction and other controls during
placing, compacting and curing. The fat growth in
technological world has resulted in tons and plenty of
by-product or waste materials or Electronic waste,
which may be used as a ingredient in concrete. the
utilization of those by-products not only helps to utilize
these waste materials but also enhances the properties
of concrete in fresh and hardened states. Perhaps the
foremost successful Supply Chain Management (SCM)
is E-Wast because it improves both strength and
sturdiness of concrete to such we can extent that
modern design rules involve addition of E-waste
materials in concrete brick for design of high strength
concrete.
1.1 OBJECTIVE
The objective of the present research work is to find
out the different properties of Electronic waste. To
reduce the utilization of Coarse aggregate by partial
replacement of E-Waste. To enhance the best
environmental alternate for cement.
1.2 MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY
1.2.1 CEMENT
Ordinary Portland Cement (53 grade) conforming to
IS: 12269 -1987 and with the specific gravity 3.23 was
used for casting all the specimens. Tests conducted on
cement are fineness of cement by sieve analysis (using
90 µ sieve), specific gravity using Le-chatlier’s
apparatus, initial setting time and final setting time
using vicat apparatus.

4 Consistency test 29.5
5 Fineness test 4.93
1.2.2 E-Waste
Silica fume is a byproduct of producing silicon
metal or ferrosilicon alloys. One of the most beneficial
uses for silica fume is in concrete. Cement is partially
