UTILIZATION OF PAPER WASTE IN CEMENT CONCRETE AS AN ADDITIONAL PRODUCT

ALEFIYA KACHWALA, DR. NANAK PAMNANI, DR. ARTI PAMNANI

Abstract

Waste disposal is a serious challenge today for India. The landfill disposal is environmentally and economically expensive resulting hazardous conditions. Continuation of this current tradition results in 5% incresase of waste every year. This paper investigates the results of utilization of paper waste as additional material in concrete mixes. The resulting concrete must assure the proper mechanical properties such as basic characteristics, compressive strength and water absorption. These two properties were determined and compared with traditional mixes. Four concrete mixes with 0%, 10%, 15% and 20% of paper waste as an additional material to the cement concrete were prepared for M-25 concrete.
