Utilization of Cordia Africana wood sawdust ash as partial cement replacement in C 25 concrete

Partial replacements are being explored for cement in concrete to reduce the environmental negative effect of their use. This study aimed at investigating the effect of Cordia Africana sawdust ash (SDA) as a partial replacement of cement, on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. For this pu...
