Structural Behaviour of Shredded Waste Paper Reinforced Concrete Beam

Cement, sand, coarse aggregate, water and reinforcing bar are the materials to make a reinforced concrete beam. The waste paper has been dumped as causes environmental pollution behind mill or landfill. industry wastage for every year is increasing gradually. More spaces being needed landfills, uses energy loss of natural resources increase expenditure various types pollutions. Utilizing an addition in beam production will reduce This research conducted investigate structural behaviour containing 10% shredded mixed cardboard additions with three reinforcements such full shear reinforcement stirrup spacing (SS=100 mm) reduced (SS=150 (SS=200 mm). All specimens subjected air curing at 28 days. results load-deflection ultimate load-bearing capacity better days reinforcements. finding shows that exhibits highest load yield (Py), (Pu), maximum (Pmax) representing load-carrying capacity, first crack (P1) lowest deflection (δy), (δu), (δmax) compared SCPWP 0%. study indicates can be used additional production.
