Due to the increase in the demand of raw materials in the construction industry, there has been a serious depletion in the naturally available raw material in construction industry. In this regards, the non-biodegradable environmentally hazardous Electronic and Electrical waste arising from various Industrial and Domestic appliances was considered as an alternative raw material for the present research. The current study not only offers a solution to the ongoing crisis in effective safe disposal of E-Wastes, but also resolves the issue of dearth of raw materials. The present study targeted effective utilization of E-Waste Ceramic as a potential aggregate in SDBC Grade-2 Mix. The research subsequently investigated the probable changes in physical and strength properties of the mixes casted using Marshall Method of Mix Design, and conclusions were later drawn depending on the comparative result analysis for the best percentage replacement of aggregates by E-Waste ceramic as proposed for a roadway of width 3.75m for soil CBR of 4%. The study herewith hence postulated the best possible percentage replacement by weight of total mix and also conducted an approximate construction cost comparison.

Abstract
Due to the increase in the demand of raw materials in the construction industry, there has been a serious depletion in the naturally available raw material in construction industry. In this regards, the non-biodegradable environmentally hazardous Electronic and Electrical waste arising from various Industrial and Domestic appliances was considered as an alternative raw material for the present research. The current study not only offers a solution to the ongoing crisis in effective safe disposal of E-Wastes, but also resolves the issue of dearth of raw materials. The present study targeted effective utilization of E-Waste Ceramic as a potential aggregate in SDBC Grade-2 Mix. The research subsequently investigated the probable changes in physical and strength properties of the mixes casted using Marshall Method of Mix Design, and conclusions were later drawn depending on the comparative result analysis for the best percentage replacement of aggregates by E-Waste ceramic as proposed for a roadway of width 3.75m for soil CBR of 4%. The study herewith hence postulated the best possible percentage replacement by weight of total mix and also conducted an approximate construction cost comparison.
