An experimental laboratory study on utilisation of e waste as a partial repla...eSAT Journals
Abstract
The Growth in the Electronics sector has been rapid and this rapid growth is due to continuous upgradation of technology and introduction of new technologies to the market. This has led to one of the fastest growing solid waste in the world, simply called as E-waste. India is the 5th highest e-waste producer in the world. The rapid increase in the construction activity in India, has resulted in huge demand for the aggregates to be used in the concrete. This has led to depletion of natural resources and adverse changes in the environment. This rapid development in the infrastructure sector has led to shortage of natural sand. This paper outlines the experimental work carried for utilisation of e-waste as a partial replacement for the fine aggregates. Strength tests and durability tests are conducted on hardened concrete. Results show that the partial use of E- waste as fine aggregates results in much higher workable and less dense concrete. This study gives an Economic, environment friendly and efficient disposal method for E-waste to be used as a partial replacement to the fine aggregates in concrete.

Parametric Characterization and Model Prediction of CBR Values of Stabilized ...IJMER
Quarry dust and lime were deployed for this stabilization experiments. Quarry dust is a byproduct
or sediments derived from the crushing of limestone. This soil modifying agent has a high
percentage of fines. Its application increases the CBR values on a range varying from 10%, 20%, 30%,
40% residual soil against 56%, 71%, 104%, 140% CBR contents of Orukim residual soils respectively.
Further increase in quarry dust content from 50% to 70% resulted in decreased values of CBR. The
samples were equally devoid of plasticity hence less useful in engineering applications. Lime stabilized
soil can be used for both base and sub-base materials. The oxides and hydroxides of calcium and
magnesium are considered as lime, but the materials most commonly used for lime stabilization are
calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 and dolomite Ca(OH)2 + MgO. The dolomite however, should not have
more than thirty six percent by weight of magnesium oxide (MgO) to be acceptable as a stabilizing
agent. The lime stabilized samples were soaked for ninety six hours to ascertain the contribution of
curing duration on the CBR parameters. Results indicate variations along the range of 2%, 4%, 6%,
8%, 10% against 80%, 92%, 99%, 110%, 169% of lime and CBR contents respectively.These values
are statistically significant. Finally multiple nonlinear regressed models were developed to aid
prediction and optimization of CBR values of Orukim residual soils at various levels of stabilization
