Experimental study evaluates concrete properties with cement and aggregate replacements in construction, highlighting sustainability benefits.

The study aims to explore the impacts of substituting cement with wood ash and fine aggregate with saw dust powder on concrete properties.
Conducted experiments with varying replacement percentages (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%) of cement and fine aggregates.
Tested physical and mechanical properties of concrete including compressive and flexural strength.
Prepared concrete specimens in cubes and rectangular beams for analysis.
Results compared to conventional concrete to assess performance.
Compressive strength decreased with the addition of wood ash and saw dust powder.
Flexural strength started to decline beyond 5% replacement of wood ash and saw dust powder.
Up to 5% replacement effectively utilized materials while reducing environmental impact.
