  • Abstract:
  • Timber waste is the by-product of wood. It is considered as waste material but now a days this waste material is utilized in the construction of the building as timber waste concrete. It is utilized to make light-weight concrete and possess long duration heat transfer. In this research timber waste concrete was made at three different mix proportions of cement to timber of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 by volume. At these proportions mechanical and thermal properties like density, workability, strength, elastic modulus and heat transfer were investigated after, 7 and 28 days of curing. It was found that with the increase in the amount of timber waste, the workability and strength decreased however, concrete with higher amount of timber waste performed very well. It was also found that the heat transfer of timber waste concrete decreased. Considering the overall physical and mechanical properties, timber waste concrete can be used in building construction
