Effect of Limestone and Wooden Dust as a Filler Material on Fresh and Hardened Properties of Concrete

Abstract: In this project main objective is to study the partial replacement of the Limestone and Wooden Dust with the varying proportion in the concrete and to check the different properties of the concrete by comparing with the normal concrete. The replacement of Fine aggregate (sand) with certain wooden dust in concrete that makes the structure more light in weight mean while we are going to replace the limestone as in place of coarse aggregate in the concrete so make it more compacted with the small aggregates. The Workability, strength and durability test are studied in this project. The most important properties of concrete is the compressive strength. Also, increasing the limestone and the wooden dust incorporation caused decreases in unit weights and compressive strength values of mortars with a parallel increase in water absorption values at all ages.

Keywords: Wooden dust, limestone, strength, properties and absorption
