    The growing demand for sustainable construction highlights the need for innovative concrete solutions using waste materials. Although recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and recycled electronic waste fibers (E-waste fibers) have been studied individually, their combined effects remain underexplored. This study addresses this gap by investigating the synergistic effects of coarse RCA (CRCA) and E-waste fibers on the fresh, mechanical, durability, thermal, and economic properties of green concrete. Fly ash replaced 20 % of cement, and PVA was added at 1 % by cement weight. Results showed that increasing CRCA content reduced workability and strength due to porosity. However, incorporating 4.5 % E-waste fibers significantly improved mechanical performance by bridging microcracks. Higher fiber contents negatively affected durability and workability. Thermal conductivity decreased with more CRCA and fibers, enhancing insulation. Economic analysis confirmed that 4.5 % E-waste fiber offers cost-effective performance. This study supports the sustainable use of electronic and construction waste in concrete.

    In the paper, the sustainable production of eco-friendly self-consolidating mortar (SCM) is explored with waste glass as a partial and complete substitution for fine aggregate owing to crucial environmental concerns. For that, the waste glass was replaced at 0 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 %, and 100 %, while electronic waste fibers were added at 5, 10, and 15 % levels. Results showed that mini slump flow values varied between 233 mm and 263 mm, which confirmed the self-consolidating properties of the material even at 100 % replacement of fine aggregates and an addition of 15 % fiber. The increase in waste glass replacement reduced compressive strength; notably, a 30 % decrease was identified at the maximum substitution level of 100 %. Meanwhile, the mixtures incorporating 5 % fibers demonstrated the highest compressive strength at all maturation periods and replacement levels, even more markedly than the control mixture. The water absorption also increased significantly with increasing waste glass levels, up to 28.87 % at 100 % replacement, indicating increased porosity. Thermal conductivity decreased substantially, ranging from 1.97 W/mK for the control to 1.39 W/mK for 100 % replacement, which could be considered an improvement in insulation properties. These results show the possibility of using waste glass and electronic waste fibers to develop green SCM with enhanced thermal insulation and optimized mechanical properties.

    The manufacturing of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is one of the primary contributors to atmospheric CO<inf>2</inf>. The use of high-volume OPC replacement materials in self-compacting concrete (SCC) has been the focus of several investigations owing to the increased demand for environmentally friendly building materials. This paper presents the experimental investigation of the properties of SCC, where 25–70 % OPC was replaced with fly ash and calcined calcium carbonate (BCC). Different experimental tests, such as workability, mechanical properties, durability, and microstructural characteristics, have been carried out. The test results of workability showed that all the mixes were conforming to satisfactory conditions of EFNARC for the T500 flow timings within the range from 2.50 to 4.55 seconds and slump flow values within the range from 650 to 800 mm. This mix, here called 20F5C, had optimum behaviour with its 91-day compressive strength of 73.8 MPa, a gain of 7.7 % over the control. Replacement ratio, microstructure, and mechanical properties were correlated. Even high-replacement mixes like 50F20C provided a 91-day compressive strength of 58.9 MPa. This clearly shows the prospect of a considerable reduction in cement consumption while maintaining structural integrity. These results indicate the possibility of reduced OPC consumption in concrete production, which again identifies low carbon emission and utilization of waste according to international sustainability goals. The findings have revealed that SCC made with high-volume replacements of OPC could be an economically viable and environmentally friendly solution for the construction industry worldwide.

    This paper deals with reducing CO<inf>2</inf> emissions from cement production and finding alternative uses for electronic waste (E-waste) fibers in some innovative applications in self-compacting mortar (SCM). In the present research, an attempt has been made to establish the optimum incorporation of E-waste fiber into SCM by varying the fiber content from 5 % to 25 %, combined with para-wood ash and calcium carbonate as supplementary cementitious materials. In this laboratory study, the mix design had a constant water-to-powder ratio of 0.35 and a cement content of 550 kg/m³. Additionally, 20 % of the cement volume was replaced by 10 % para-wood ash and 10 % calcium carbonate. The results indicated a continuous increase of the mini-slump values from 255 mm for the control mix to 270 mm for the mix with the highest fiber content. Mini V-funnel flow times increased from 3.63 to 8.83 s as the fiber content increased. Lower fiber contents of 5 % improved compressive strength because they had a reinforcing role in the matrix of SCM besides the microcrack-bridging role. Higher contents of 10–25 % decreased the strength due to the clustering of fibers and resulting voids. SEM analysis at 28 days showed increased voids with higher percentages of E-waste fibers and para-wood ash alone. The results underline that optimizing fiber content is critical in balancing workability and mechanical properties, and 5 % e-waste fiber content can be considered optimal for enhancing the performance of SCM. This work also creates part of sustainable construction practice with the green solution required to reduce CO<inf>2</inf> emissions and work accumulation against E-waste.
