Sawdust is considered a waste material and a number of innovative ways are being taken to mitigate its effects on the environment. The use of sawdust as additional admixture in cement-sand brick production is an alternative option to mitigate the problem. In this study, three different types of cement-sand brick mixture in proportion of 1%, 2% and 3% of sawdust added to the normal mixture are prepared. Compression test was conducted on the brick mixture and results indicated 1% sawdust satisfy the Class 1 loadbearing brick whilst the 2% sawdust is slightly above the minimum required strength of 5.2 MN/ m2 for an ordinary quality brick set by the Standards MS 76:1972. Thus, the use of sawdust as admixture in cement-sand brick should not exceed 3%.
