Abstract :There has always been a need for recyclable materials in the construction industry. Taking this fact into consideration an exploration using paper tubes and medium density fiber-board insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(M.D.F); as construction materials was ventured. In order to understand these materials, a temporary space frame was made. The paper describes in detail the entire process of making the space frame. Issues related to shape and size of the structure, connection detail and its material, wind forces etc., which occur frequently during the making of such structures are discussed in depth. At last the strengths, weaknesses, and scope of paper tubes as a building construction material in coming future have been discussed.
