Papercrete Concrete

This work presents an experimental approach for the use of papercrete for construction. Green materials are now the preferred material for construction since they are capable of lighter weight and affordable. Based on recent studies, alternative building materials are cost effective, light weight when dry, and efficient to use. This study started from referring different literature concerning the topic and related ideas up to conceptualization and design of the trial ratio to be used in testing. The goal of the study is to utilize papercrete toward attaining a sustainable development. Testing and analysis of the result provided sufficient data to prove whether it is possible to use papercrete concrete as a construction material. Comparison between the samples formulated determines that this material can be used in thefuture as a construction element. This work can be of help for contractors and every one whös interested in building environmental friendly houses.
