An Experimental Investigation on Properties of Sawdust Concrete
摘要
Sawdust substituted fine aggregate in concrete to the extent that the concrete's compressive strength and density at days 7, 14, 21, and 28 were within the range of plain concrete's typical strengths. In daily life, concrete is most frequently utilized as a building material and is readily available everywhere these days. When strength, durability, ductility, tensile strength, and absorption resistance are needed, concrete is the ideal material to use. Everyday items like sawdust, rice husk, egg shells, and coir are used to reduce construction material costs and to make use of natural resources. One waste product that is widely available and can be utilized in place of fine aggregate is sawdust. Research on the use of waste products in concrete has been conducted by the building sector throughout the past ten years. The characteristics of both fresh and hardened concrete are impacted differently by each waste product. Any development must include a discussion of natural resources and an environmental presentation. Continuous technological and industrial progress has led to a problem with waste material disposal. By using waste materials appropriate for concrete production, construction costs can be reduced while still achieving safe waste material disposal. Concrete made with waste materials is not only more affordable, but it also addresses some of the disposal problems.
