These composites include particleboards, sawdust concrete blocks or bricks and sawdust concrete. The article concludes that partially replacing 5% to 17% of sand with sawdust, or replacing cement with sawdust ash in proportions of 5% to 15% in concrete mixes can produce structural concrete with compressive strengths greater than 20 MPa.

In comparison with all sawdust concrete mixtures, 10% (SD10) can be considered as the optimum replacement of fine aggregates with a maximum strength of 24.5 MPa for medium strength and 20% (SD10) can be considered for low strength concrete material …

This study investigates the use of Saw Dust Ash (SDA) as partial replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in sandcrete blocks. Some units of sandcrete hollow blocks were produced by partially replacing the cement content with 5% to 25% by weight of SDA, using vibrating block moulding machine. Sandcrete blocks without SDA serve as the control.

2.2.Fine aggregate The fine aggregate used was locally available river sand and wood waste and conforming to IS: 383 – 1970. The fine aggregate was tested for its physical requirements such as gradation, fineness modulus, specific gravity and bulk density. A concrete can be made from sand consisting of rounded grains as

EFFECT OF REPLACEMENT OF FINE AND COARSE AGGREGATE BY SAWDUST IN SOLID CONCRETE BLOCKS FOR DIFFERENT MIX PROPORTIONS 1Owais Ahmad Lone, 2Anaab Saleem, 3Isha Chandra 1M.Tech Student, 2B.Tech Student, 3Assistant Professor 1Civil Engineering, 1NIU, Greater Noida, India Abstract:

The only downside to using sawdust as fine aggregate in concrete mixes is its weakness which is water. Experimentation and data analysis shows that the higher the saturation of water deposits in the sawdust particles during curing tend to weaken the sample, making it softer than it was designed for, thus explaining why the soaked and splashed ...

The compressive strength of concrete blocks units decreased due to the effect of sawdust waste and wood waste aggregate by increasing the replacement ratio instead of cement, sand and coarse ...

for 8 X 8 X 16 inch. Concrete block, of 37.5% core space, made on a power tamping block machine at a yield of 21.0 to 22.4 block per bag of cement. The aggregate was blended from fine (No. 4 to 0) and coarse (3/8 inch to No. 4) materials in proportions to yield the desired fineness modulus. It should be noted that the strengths given in Fig. 2

The concrete paving blocks were produced in a ver- tical shaft concrete mixer. The reference trace used 5.36 kg of cement, 6.26 kg of coarse basaltic aggregate, 14.18 kg of river sand aggregate, and a water/cement ratio of 0.39. The coal waste was used as a substitute for river sand aggregate, considering the following volumetric

as an alternative lightweight fine aggregate and cementitious material respectively in eco-friendly lightweight interlocking concrete paving units (ICPU) using a mix ratio of 1:2:4. The lightweight sawdust and laterite were studied due to their abun-dant availability as industrial waste and cheap local construction material. Eco-

Answer (1 of 2): saw dust is used as a light weight aggregate in flooring and in the manufacturing of precast products i will tell you about cons of saw dust, 1. It affects the setting and hardening of cement because it has tannis and soluble carbohydrates. 2. The shrinkage and moisture moveme...

The percentage replacements of fine aggregates by sawdust were varied from 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and .This was done to determine the optimum percentage that would give the most favorable result. However, dry mix method was used for concrete constituent before the addition of water.

The concrete blocks are using coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, cement, water and sawdust to mix it. Using some percentage of sawdust in place of sand in concrete for example replaces 10%, 15%, 20% of sawdust instead of sand and remaining is same. After the concrete blocks are done I am going to see the difference in weight between the ...

Critical literature review revealed that at fine aggregate replacement by laterite ≤50, 50–75 and , mix ratios 1:2:4:0.56, 1:1.5:3:0.65 and 2:3:6:0.65 respectively are preferable for structural applications. Higher compressive

Key Words: Compressive strength, Concrete, Sawdust, Light weight concrete, Fine Aggregate. 1. INTRODUCTION Concrete is a mixture of cement, fine and coarse aggregates and water, which are mixed in a specific proportion to get a particular strength. Both cement and water react together chemically to form a paste, which binds the aggregate

at 10% sawdust replacement, production costs and weight reduced by 3% and 10% respectively. Usman et al (2012) found out that the strength of concrete reduced with sawdust as fine aggregate due to its higher rate of water absorption and the optimum replacement was 25%. Olutoge (2010) investigated the suitability of palm kernel shells and 1349 ...

Uses of saw dust in concrete The rising costs of building construction in developing countries have been a source of concern to government and private developers. This study investigated the use of sawdust as partial replacement for fine aggregates in concrete production. Sawdust was used to replace fine aggregates from 0% to 50% in steps of 10%.

This paper reports on experimental investigations on the effect of replacing sand with sawdust on the properties of concrete.
