Abstract
The objective is to establish relationships between these strength parameters and the incorporation of Bio-waste materials, including different proportions of paper mass and discarded textiles, in the concrete mix. Additionally, tile samples are cast to assess the impact resistance behavior. Two types of bio-concrete have been developed, and their distinctive properties, including compressive strength of cubes, Split tensile strength of cylinders, flexural strength of beam, water absorption absorptive, and surface treatment, are studied. To evaluate the potential practical applications of these materials, all the conducted tests are compared with those performed on control concrete. The bio-concrete gives equal strength compared with control conventional concrete. The BC gives 90% of results from control concrete and the weight of the concrete is very low compared with normal concrete.
