Abstract: The construction industry is an important industry at both the global level and national level. Concrete when set and cured, resembles stone in weight, hardness, brittleness and strength. In developing  the alternatives  to the concrete  a new replacement to fine aggregate has been made and is named as partial replacement(5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) of fine aggregate, here e-waste(waste from electronics)and quarry dust is replaced .e waste is unwanted  and obsolete from electrical materials, quarry dust is also waste from quarry. This has good compressive strength and impact strength when compared to normal concrete. Time and cost are the two major elements in project management, apart from quality and scope.

This experimental study deals with the study of utilization of e-waste(waste from electronics ) and quarry dust  in place of fine aggregate replacement partially(5%, 10%, 15%, 20%).
