EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PAPERCRETE CLAY BRICK WITH GGBS

Abstract: Papercrete is a mix of cement, paper pulp, sand or clay and water. It is an old concept of construction material which is discovered recently. The purpose of this investigation is to caste the papercrete brick using the clay, cement, paper pulp and water and investigates the properties of brick by introducing various percentages of GGBS for a replacement for cement. The mix proportion of the brick is chosen as 1:1.5:1.5 [cement: clay: paper pulp] by trial and error method because there is no proper code for mix proportion. The results are compared with the normal brick for the conclusion.
