EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON PAPERCRETE CONCRETE BY ADDING QUARRY DUST

Abstract

The constant development activities in civil engineering and growing industries have been created a continuous demand for building materials which satisfy all the stringent requirements regarding the short term and long term performance of structure. The objective of this work is to determine the strength and durability features of papercrete by using quarry dust, which gives better understanding on the properties of concrete. In this study examined the mechanical properties of papercrete concrete like compressive strength, split tensile test designed using papercrete varying mix ratio. These tests were conducted by using 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% and
40% of papercrete with the quarry dust and it was to be found that by usage of the papercrete, can be used for making light weight strength able and ecofriendly concrete
