Mechanical Properties of Concrete Produced with Wastepaper for Application of Construction Materials

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to analyze the mechanical properties of concrete produced with wastepaper for obtaining the optimum mix design of that. The concrete produced with wastepaper was made up of the cement, water, sand, and cut wastepaper. For this purpose, the concrete which had variety mixing ratio of materials was mixed and cured to find out the mechanical properties of that. And, it was performed the compressive and tensile test and the measurement of hardened concrete. The test result of this study was showed that the partial replacement ratio of wastepaper was the decisive influence variable and the correlation between the mechanical properties
