Abstract

The constituents of concrete are cement, water, sand, and aggregate. Waste paper (WP) is mixed into a concrete mixture to create waste paper concrete (WPC). The output of WP gradually rises annually. The use of WP in concrete could reduce environmental pollutants. Thus, the potential of WP is reviewed in this extensive paper by replacing constituents of concrete at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The physical, chemical, and structural characteristics of WP are also reviewed in this work. This research also reviews the new, features of WPC, including slump, modulus of elasticity, stress-strain, and water absorption. Pursuant to this analysis, WP to concrete increases its fresh, structural, and durability qualities between 5% and 10%, and decreases it beyond 10%. The moist cement particles tend to strengthen the concrete more with 10% WP addition than they do at 5% WP addition. It appears that the addition of WP confers important and desired qualities above regular concrete, which is devoid of waste paper. WP's improved performance and qualities may make it a good candidate for use in the manufacturing of concrete.
