Experimental Study On Papercrete Preparation And Characteristics

Abstract

In this article the experimental study ofconstruction method of walling is done using Papercrete Technologyis done and compared its Strength and durability of the structure, stability, safety and mental satisfaction are factors that assume top priority during cost reduction. It is found that about 26.11% of the construction cost can be saved for walling alone. This proves that using low-cost building technologies is a cost-effective construction approach for the industry. Papercrete is a sustainable building material due to reduced amount of cement usage and recycled paper being put to good use. 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 concrete as a building material. An experimental investigation has been carried out to optimization of mix for papercrete depending upon the compressive strength and flexural strength.
