Mechanical and thermal properties of sawdust concrete
Sawdust is the by-product of wood. It is considered as waste material but nowadays this waste material is utilized in the construction of the building as sawdust concrete. It is utilized to make light-weight concrete and possess long duration heat transfer. In this research sawdust concrete was made...
