Experimental Investigation Of Papercrete Concrete

ABSTRACT The high volume of concrete offers a holistic solution to the problem of meeting the increasing demands for concrete in the future in a sustainable manner and at a reduced or no additional cost and at the same time reducing the environmental impact of industries that are vital to economic development. As natural sources of aggregates are becoming exhausted, it turns out urgent to development. The majority of abandoned paper waste is accumulated from the countries all over the world causes certain series environmental problems. This project deals a parametric experimental study which investigates the potential use of paper waste for producing a low-cost and light weight composite brick as a building material. An experimental investigation has been carried out to optimization of mix for papercrete bricks depending upon the compressive strength, unit weight, and water absorption.
