Abstract
A sustainable concrete structure is constructed to ensure that the total environmental impact during its life cycle, including its use, will be minimal. Sustainable concrete should have a very low inherent energy requirement, be produced with little waste, be made from some of the most plentiful resources on earth, produce durable structures, have a very high thermal mass, and be made with recycled materials. In present investigation the experimental work was carried out to find the mechanical properties of concrete by paper as partial replacement of cement. The specimens were produced with percentage replacements of cement with 1%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10 % of paper. Moreover, a control mix with no replacement of the cement was produced as baseline data. The Test program consisted of six beams. The span of all beams is 1500 mm and cross section is 150 x 200 mm.All beams are tested as simply supported and subjected to three point loading symmetrically placed at equal distance from the centreline of the beam. The flexural behaviour PCB has analysed experimentally with a variation in interface as 50% and 100% from bottom with paper concrete has prepared with replacement of cement by 2.5% with waste paper for M25 of concrete The obtained results indicated that the strength of PC beams was higher than that anticipated from the rule of mixtures. The load deflection curve shows that the mid span deflection of PC beams are less when compared to control beams at all load levels.. As PCB is economical, having more durability and strength, so its adoption enables more sustainability in concrete industry.
