| Abstract Scope |
Since ancient times, natural fibers have played a crucial role in human history, being utilized in various applications due to their abundance and unique properties. From the 1980s onwards, there has been a rise in the use of these fibers to enhance material density and address improperly discarded waste in nature. This period marked a significant increase in the use of natural fibers to promote waste reuse and improve properties such as density and durability. This study examines the mechanical behavior of a cementitious mortar through flexural and compressive strength tests, partially replacing sand with wood sawdust residue (WSR) in proportions of 0%, 0.5%, and 1%. The results indicate that substitution tends to decrease the mechanical strength of the material. However, with 0.5% substitution, the reduction in strength does not significantly compromise the use of the mortar, as the observed decreases were not substantial. |
