Abstract

Globally future cities are urbanizing due to which construction industry is showing rapid change by application of advanced construction techniques and resources. In the past few decades, various research states that formworks involve 15-22% of the project cost, hence this study emphasizes in manufacturing a smart material for sustainable formwork from undegradable materials available in the form of scrap waste by recycling under Swachh a Bharat Abhiyan initiative. The objective of this research is to develop smart material termed as Waste Composite Material (WCM) substitute to timber. Standard Engineering tests on WCM were conducted in laboratory under prescribed IS specification which showed good results in its load taking capacity in tension, compression and shear as compared to timber. As this research helps in reducing solid waste pollution by recycling them, it can be concluded that for future infrastructural projectsWCMcanbeconsideredaseconomicalandeco-friendlyalternativesolution
