A detailed investigation on papercrete specimen of size 100×100×100 mm made with different ingredients like sand, fly ash and glass fiber was carried out after 28 days of air curing. Papercrete is a new construction material made with waste paper, cement and water. Papercrete had been used to build low cost homes without much knowledge of its structural properties. The purpose of this study is to obtain compressive strength and mass density of papercrete by doing some trial mixes of papercrete with different ingredients. From this study it has been observed that the papercrete is a lightweight material and it can be used as an infill material in high rise buildings.
