  Abstract: E-waste, including devices like phones and computers, poses serious environmental risks. To mitigate these, the construction industry is exploring e-waste as a material to enhance concrete strength and durability. Hence, the present study assesses the performance of M40-grade high-strength concrete by replacing coarse aggregates with 0% to 30% e-waste plastics at various intervals. As the e-waste replacement increased, fresh concrete's workability decreased gradually. The mix containing 30% e-waste experienced the …
