dc.description.abstract |
With the arisen development around the world, the demand for natural construction
materials has been increased. Increasing consumption levels decrease the amount of
available natural resources. The importance of material efficiency and the need to
improve it can be studied from several perspectives. Limited availability or scarcity
of materials may lead to threats to the economy, and the production processes of
materials can have significant environmental impacts.
This study was concentrated on the use of sawdust as a partial replacement for fine
aggregates in cement-based wall plaster material. Mahogany sawdust produced in
local timber mills was selected for the study. Sawdust was incorporated into the
plaster mixture in the raw form as well as in burnt form (saw dust ash). Composites
were prepared by incorporating 5% and 10% saw dust by weight and sawdust ash by
weight. Prepared composites were tested for flexural strength and tensile strength
according to BS EN 1015 standard. Lee's disc method was used to compare the thermal
properties of the composites.
Composite with 5% saw dust ash showed better properties compared to the composites
with other sawdust combinations. |
