This study evaluates the possible effects of sawdust from scrap wood on the mechanical and microstructure characteristics of interlocking bricks when used as an additive in construction materials. Bricks with increased porosity levels were manufactured by adding more recycled wood sawdust ash (WSA) additive at larger sizes. The findings demonstrated that while sound insulation and water absorption increased with the addition of WSA, compressive strength decreased. WSA is added to aid increase unit weight and compressive strength. A higher WSA results in improved sound absorption. WSA are therefore intriguing raw materials for the creation of construction materials that use less energy.
