m aper concrete construction involves using waste paper for
affordable, sustainable housing.
m 45 percent of discarded paper is recycled annually, 55 percent or
48 million tons of paper is thrown away or goes into the landfills
in USA
m It takes about seventeen trees to make a ton of paper.
m 50-80 percent waste paper contain using in concrete

m he name seems with a mix of paper and concrete, hence
paper-crete.
m AEp pETE is a tricky term.
m It is a fairly new construction material that consists of re-
pulped paper fibre with ortland cement or clay .
m Lime dust may be used as a more carbon neutral alternative
to ortland cement.
m It is more accurately, when the ortland cement is used in
mix.
 
m This type of material is considered environmental friendly
material.
m It was discovered by Eric atterson and Ôike Ôc ain.
m There are no harmful by-products or excessive energy use in
the production of papercrete.
 
m Saves landfill space.
m Keeps paper processing & printing chemicals out of the water
table.
m Saves trees and other construction resources, which would have
been used in place of papercrete for walls and roof.
m Saves additional trees and other construction resources, which
would have been used to "build out" or finish the interior and
exterior of the structure.
m Saves a significant amount of energy during the lifetime of the
structure.
m rovides new construction jobs.
m rovides low-cost, sustainable housing.
    
m Safety factors. There are many variations in creating
papercrete that no one know which one is the best.
m There is no way to get a loan using it as collateral
m apercrete is still not classified as anything and therefore it is
hard to find a good creditor willing to give you a loan and if
one finds one the rates might be higher.

m apercrete panels are made with 2' x 4' (61 x 122 centimeter)
forms.
m The 2' x 4' forms should be built of 2 inch by 4inch (5 x 10
centimeter) depth. If you make larger, thicker panels, they will
take longer to dry and you may need help to get them up on the
roof.
m To keep the papercrete clean and help drain out the water, put a
sheet of shade cloth on the ground under the form.
m Strong panels are made by filling the form up to within a half-inch
from the top and then spreading a piece of chicken wire over the
mix.
m our the remaining half inch of mix, smooth out the surface with
a trowel and should be able to handle the panel in about four days.
It will probably take the panel two weeks or so to completely dry.
 
m For the greatest strength, roof panels are installed over offset
chicken wire and two thin layers of papercrete.
m First a sheet of one-inch chicken wire is tightly stretched
over the ceiling joists of the structure a
m A second layer of one-inch chicken wire is offset 1/2 inch
from the first and installed the same way.
m Then a thin layer of papercrete is spread on the chicken wire
and allowed to dry to form a strong base for the roof panel.

m Long available for industrial applications, crystalline waterproofing is now
used in residential applications.
m It consists of a dry powder compound of ortland cement, very fine treated
silica sand, and proprietary chemicals.
m ombining the product with water and applying it to the surface of concrete
results in a catalytic reaction.
m This seals the concrete against the penetration of water or liquids from all
directions. If it will hold water without leaking, it should prevent water
penetration.
m If the sun is very strong, and there were no problems with it. It's tough,
flexible and absolutely waterproof.
m The total load at the base of the wall would be about 550 pounds per square
foot. Since papercrete is variously rated at well above 100 pounds per square
inch, there is a very wide margin for wet snow or any other additional roof
load.

m It is not used as a load-bearing wall where building codes apply; however, its strength
and durability high.
m In model structures is proven and homes and small commercial buildings are being
constructed.
m apercrete block use a mixture of water, cement with cellulose fibre, which is usually
acquired from recycled newspaper, lottery tickets and phone books.
m The mixture has the appearance and texture of oatmeal and is poured into forms and
dried in the sun, much like the process for making adobe.
m apercrete is remarkable in that it takes on the strengths of wood and concrete, but is
missing the weaknesses of either.
m Unlike wood, it will not crack or burn. Unlike concrete, it will not fracture. oncrete
and wood are not known for their isolative qualities, however, papercrete takes on
isolative qualities that make it superior to many conventional insulating materials.
m papercrete blocks are lightweight, less than a third the weight of a comparably-sized
adobe brick.
m apercrete is mild resistant, has utility as a sound-proofing material and is bullet-proof.

m If windows and door are pre-hung in their own frames, they can simply be
screwed into the papercrete opening.
m The gaps can be trimmed conventionally and/or filled with papercrete and
adding a small amount of laster of aris to papercrete where it comes into
contact with wood.
m If wood or metal frames have to be installed, they can be screwed directly into
the papercrete.
m At a construction of unsupported papercrete block walls, between floor-to-
ceiling windows, angle-screwed to the window frames.
m The frames themselves were independently anchored to the floor and to the
roof plate.
m This stabilized the short walls extremely well. Any gaps are filled with
papercrete and the inside surface of the wall opening (not covered by the frame)
can be surfaced with papercrete.
m The glass can simply be embedded in the papercrete. apercrete doesn't expand
or contract , even when wet or frozen, so sheets of glass or glass block can be
embedded in and trimmed with papercrete without fearing
