Abstract text:
The purpose of this study is to obtain an environmentally friendly building material based on recycled wood chips resulted from different industries as wood waste. The wood waste management of any field and its recycling in obtaining other resources further used to develop useful products for masonry structures is a way to mitigate the environmental effects of pollution. The usage and application of these materials or construction products is encouraged by their mechanical and physical performances according to the variation of 50 and 25 wood chips percentage reported to the aggregates’ volume. Compressive strength and density were establishing by experimental test and added to bending strength from a previous study. This research shows the influence of wood chips as a light aggregate and recycled material included in the cement mass on the mechanical properties and density of the material.
Key Words:
light aggregate; wood waste; compressive strength; bending strength; lightweight blocks
