With increased environmental awareness and its potential hazardous effects, utilization of industrial byproducts has become an attractive alternative to disposal. Silica fume (SF), which is byproduct of the smelting process in the silicon and ferrosilicon industry. Silica fume is very effective in the design and development of high performance concrete. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigations carried out to find the suitability of silica fume in High Performance concrete. India is facing a serious challenge in disposing of waste in the many landfills throughout the country that are near or at capacity. The landfill situation is resulting in high disposal costs and potential environmental problems. If the current situation continues with waste production is grow by 5% each year, landfills would be at full capacity by 2020. This paper reports on the results of an experimental investigation for concrete using wastepaper as additional materials in concrete mixes to be used in housing projects, for which it must be assured that the waste paper concrete has the proper mechanical strength. Concrete mixes containing various contents of the paper was prepared and basic strength characteristics such as compressive strength, splitting tensile were determined and compared with a control mix. The concrete mixes containing of the waste material, such as conventional concrete.
