Abstract
Concrete is one of the key material used in the construction industry. Concrete is used as a compressive material and it is also reinforced by rebar’s to improve its tensile strength. Due to rapid urbanization concrete use is getting huge demand and it became a major business industry. Whereas, it also utilizes natural resources to the same hasty level. Therefore, this paper utilizes waste tissues of a university as an aggregate replacer. The different test was performed in a green and hardened state. It is observed that the new concrete is good in workability and it has normal temperature but it is not good at resisting higher compressive loads. Similarly, the waste material collected after the tests and utilized in making a commercial product. This paper aims to save the environment by utilizing different types of waste in making useful items to save resources.
Highlights
Concrete became one of the most important components in the construction industry because of its durability, strength and flexibility
Aggregates are replaced by waste tissue papers, which were collected from different offices and toilets of Prince Sultan University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
A reasonable strength has been achieved by this tissuecrete but it can be used for all items of the construction industry where low strength is required rather than high strength
Summary
Concrete became one of the most important components in the construction industry because of its durability, strength and flexibility. Concrete can be defined as a mixed consist of coarse & fine aggregates, water, chemical admixtures, and a binding material which is most of the time cement. Those ingredients are mixed in specific proportions in order to achieve desired properties. Concrete is one of the major element of modern construction and it has great application in the industry starting from small homes up to skyscrapers This special material became one of the most used materials in the 21st century and it is rapidly consuming natural resources. This research focuses on saving natural resources by utilizing waste It enhances concrete by making it more environmentfriendly material using recyclable materials. Waste has been used and it was assured that no further waste would be generated from this activity
