The
increase in the population day by day and urbanization has led to a rapid
increase in the construction sector. With the increase in demand in construction,
the product types of building materials are increasing. It is seen that wastes
are formed during
and after the production of the materials used in the building. This highlights
studies on waste management and recycling of waste. After construction activities,
wastes are recycled or converted to secondary products. One of these is wood
waste, a traditional building material. In addition to the production of wood
furniture, it is used in various areas from the beginning of construction to
the end of the building. In this study, sawdust, which is the waste of a
woodworking company, was used. Utilizing the advantages of wood, recyclable and
sustainable cement bonded wood composite production practices have been
explored. It is aimed to produce nature and environment friendly, ecological
and economic and durable composite materials. In this research, it is aimed to
determine the optimum ratio by using different ratios of sawdust-cement while keeping the
water-cement ratio constant in production. The specimens taken from the
production were exposed to high temperature after gaining strength. The
strength results, unit volume weights and ultrasound transition speed results
of cement bonded wood composite samples exposed to high temperature were
examined. Although cement bonded wood composites are exposed to high
temperatures such as 400°C, it has been observed that strength is achieved.
With this study, an alternative area was proposed for the evaluation of these
wastes.
