Abstract: | |
The major component in any construction activity is cost of the materials. In developing countries, the untapped or unused resources are needed to be identified for its potential usage in the construction sectors. The one such resource is waste papers. In this research paper, waste papers and recycled paper mass are incorporated into concrete at various percentages to increase the bulk of the concrete, and all the necessary engineering and physical properties are studied and mathematical equations are derived and compared with control concrete. The potential usages of this new material are discussed in detail. |
