Utilization Process for Electronic Waste in Eco-Friendly Concrete

In this chapter, the authors discuss the utilization of e-waste in the concrete for civil construction activities. Various tests have been used to investigate the effects of e-waste mixed with concrete. The various percentages of e-waste have been mixed with concrete to improve the strength of buildings. An e-waste concrete beam has a maximum tensile strength of 6.23 MPa under sulfuric curing conditions, and the highest flexural strength at 10% e-waste replacement during the hydrochloride curing process. The compressive strength is at its highest value when e-waste replaces 10% of it. After 28 days of curing, the concrete cylinder's maximum split tensile strength was 15%. Thus, the e-waste could be effectively utilized for civil construction purposes to reduce its environmental impacts.
