Seismic Performance Evaluation of E-Waste-Georeinforced Embankment and Pavement
The rate of E-waste generation is increasing by approximately 10% every year, and most of the E-wastes is being disposed of by dumping in landfills and other uncontrolled ways. To avoid the toxic effect on the environment, it is necessary to find a proper way to dispose of the huge amount of E-waste. To deal with this issue, this research explores the feasibility of using E-waste as a partial replacement to the soil in the embankment and pavement by conducting various laboratory tests. The soil and E-waste were tested for their physical and engineering properties as per respective IS code provisions. By performing a series of Modified Proctor Compaction tests and California Bearing Ratio test, the optimum content of E-waste replaced to soil has been determined. This study also focused on the interaction between soil partially replaced with E-waste and geogrid. A series of cyclic triaxial test and bender element test is carried out for finding dynamic parameters (Young’s modulus, shear modulus, damping ratio) from which the modulus of subgrade reaction is calculated. To improve the interaction, different georeinforcements have been introduced in virgin soil and optimum content of E-waste mixed with soil.
