Effect of Sawdust as Fine Aggregate In Concrete Mixture

The study entitled “Replacement of the fine aggregate with saw dust - An evaluation of strength characteristics of concrete” is done by following the methodology given below M 20 Conventional control mix is prepared with mix proportions as 1:1.5:3.In the next stage, 5% of fine aggregate is replaced with saw dust and cubes, cylinders were casted. Similarly the fine aggregate is replaced with saw dust with percentages up to 15% at an interval of 5%.All these casted cubes and cylinders were cured for 7 and 28 days and are tested to find out the compressive strength and spilt tensile strength for these respective days.
