Mechanical properties (compression) of sawdust concrete in different additives

Increase in prices of raw materials for the construction industry resulted in the use of recycled materials as an alternative for replacing the conventional materials. One of that is sawdust that has a potential in application of lightweight concrete. However the problem that identified in sawdust c...

The total samples are 90 samples for 7,14 and 28 days of strength. The highest 28 day compressive strength was achieved by 1:1:3:1 (lime) mix proportion which is 5.27 Mpa.
