The main objective of this study is to investigate parameters that affect the flexural behavior and shrinkage properties of light-weight cement composite plates using wastepaper fibers and wire mesh. Wastepaper fibers were prepared from disposed office papers which were shredded and immersed into water for a period of time and then they were grinde...

... main parameters influencing on the properties of the wastepaper-cement composites were investigated. They were (a) cement to paper ratio in the mixture (1:0.5, 1:1.0 and 1:1.5 by volume), (b) shape of the wire mesh opening (square and hexagon), (c) sizes of the opening (#1, #2, and #3) and (d) number of wire mesh layers used for reinforcement (1 and 2 layers) (see wire mesh properties in Table 1) ...

A study has been carried out to investigate the mechanical and physical characteristics of short, treated and randomly oriented Musa Acuminata x Balbisiana Colla (also known as Pisang Awak) pseudo-stem fiber reinforced epoxy composite. The composite was fabricated by using hand lay-up method with three different banana fiber weight compositions of...
This paper presents the crushing responses of cylindrical woven kenaf fibre reinforced composites under quasi-static compression. Kenaf fiber in the form of yarn is weaved into woven mat. It is then submerged into polyester bath before it is wrapped into a cylindrical shape. There are two important parameters investigated such as number of layers a...
Steel fiber reinforced lightweight-aggregate concrete (SFRLAC) has many advantages applied in structural engineering. In this paper, the autogenous shrinkage and drying shrinkage of SFRLAC for up to 270 days were measured, considering the effects of types of coarse and fine aggregates with the changes of water-to-binder ratio and volume fraction of...
In the mining industry time is critical as production depends on the speed of the mining cycle. During the mining process, the time required to re-open access for the next phase of an underground heading is a key point that strongly depends on the ability of the selected ground support technique to promptly ensure the safety of workers. Fiber reinf...
The objective of the present work is to study the physical, mechanical and water absorption behaviour of coir fiber reinforced epoxy composites filled with Al2O3 particulates. Composites with different compositions were prepared by varying the length of the fiber and content of fiber using hand lay-up technique. The experimental investigation revea...

... Several studies have been conducted utilizing the waste materials such as paper [8][9][10], glass [11][12][13][14], wood [15][16][17], etc. altering the physical properties of concrete. Ahmadi et al. utilized wastepaper sludge (a by-product in paper industries) as a replacement of fine sand in various concrete mix proportions and investigate the result of various tests such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, water absorption test and density [18]. ...
This study examines the feasibility of using waste cardboard as a lightweight construction material through experimentations. Waste carboards are burnt or dumped legally or illegally in a nearby dumping site, especially in economically developing nations like Pakistan, which is a threat to the environment. To utilize wasted cardboard effectively, an innovative building construction unit (block) has been prepared from carboard pulp, cement, and sand, named Boardcrete. To assess the optimum mix ratio, three different mix ratios: 1:2:4, 1:1:2, and 1:1:1.5 were adopted on trial and error method, and multiple engineering properties of boardcrete were investigated consisting of compressive strength, tensile strength, thermal conductivity, water absorption, and efflorescence test. The results revealed that increasing the quantity of cardboard has yielded low mechanical strength and thermal conduction of boardcrete and increase in water absorption has observed with the increasing amount of cardboard pulp. Based on the outcomes of experiments, it is concluded that boardcrete blocks are low strength-lightweight construction units possessing low thermal conduction and highly recommended for non-load bearing walls such as partition walls.
