The rate of construction work growing day by day which gives an output of huge manpower and resources. As the construction work increases proportionally, the natural resources are being depleted and the conventional structures also have some effects on the environment. The usage of concrete for temporary structures should be gradually reduced and in future the concept of sustainability should be implemented in the construction works. The objective is to do a comparative study between the conventional structure and the structure made with sustainable materials. A model of the temporary structure (Bus stand) is created with different design considerations. It is based on the building oriented Energy model (using solar panels) and this model is calibrated and validated by comparing results obtained in Staad. ProV8i with in situ measurements realized. The design results from Staad. ProV8i reflect the load intensity and behavior of structure such as deflection, bending moment to external loads were analyzed. The material characteristics were studied for different materials like waste embedded epoxy tile, PE mesh panel and Ultralite that are used in the temporary structure. The methodology adopted in making the bus stand model is grooving technique, bolting and shear jointing. The members of the temporary structure are made of scrap steel which have the dimensions of 0.23m × 0.23m and analyzed for different support conditions includes, fixed support with more joints, pinned support with low joint, pinned support with more joints and fixed support with low joint to obtain their properties. Strength test and specific weight test were performed for different materials in which sustainable material shows considerable results. The structure has many advantages like light weight, portability, less labor consuming and time saving.
