        abstract = {This research investigates the potential of utilizing sawdust as a waste material to partially replace sand, along with Alccofine 1203 as a supplementary cementitious material, to modify the properties of concrete. The study examines the impact of these modifications by substituting sand with sawdust by weight in concrete mixtures. Integrating sawdust into concrete not only provides a sustainable method for waste disposal but also helps in reducing the overall weight of the concrete. Alccofine 1203 is incorporated as a cement replacement in varying proportions of 0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16%, and 20%, while sawdust is used as a partial fine aggregate replacement at levels of 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%. The mechanical properties of the modified concrete were evaluated through compressive and split tensile strength tests conducted at 7 and 28 days to assess the performance of different mix compositions.},
