The Asphalt mix design with Electronic Waste Aggregates

Abstract

This research discusses the asphalt mix design with electronic waste aggregates. Plastic is increasing day by day and it is an environmental hazard. Its disposal is a very serious issue. Electronic Waste can cause adverse effects on the environment. To deal with this problem we used Electronic Waste as a replacement for natural aggregates. In this research we used electronic waste in place of natural aggregates upto15%. We prepared 6 samples with 0,5,10 and 15% E-waste and performed Marshall Stability and Flow test. We also performed Bulk Specific gravity test. The Marshall Stability value at 0% is 1262.53kg, 5% is 1256.4kg, 10% is 1230.32kg and 15% is 1204.24. The Flow value at 0% is 7.5mm, 5%is 7.86mm, 10% is 8.1mm and 15% is 8.5mm. The bulk specific gravity at 0% is 2.324, 5% is 2.236, 10% is 2.091 and 15% is 2.027. The Marshall Stability and bulk specific gravity decrease with an increase in E-Waste% while Flow value increase with increase in E-Waste%.
