Utilization of Waste Non-Metallic Printed Circuit Board Fractions (NMPCB) as Aggregate to Create Green Concrete

Abstract:

In this research, to present a practical solution for disposal of Waste Non-metallic printed circuit board fractions (NMPCB), this material replaced 5, 10, 15 and 20% by weight of the coarse aggregate of control concrete. Results showed that consistency of fresh concrete decreased with increase in replace percentage. Bulk density of specimens falls by using (NMPCB), Compressive strength, static modulus of elasticity and flexural strength have decreased in specimens containing waste material. Durability properties, water absorption has increase, and Special electrical resistance has decrease in specimens containing (NMPCB). So, by notice to experimental results and environmental effect of (NMPCB), the best replacing percentage of (NMPCB) with coarse aggregate of control concrete is up to 10%.
