Description

This dataset supports a comparative screening study of cementitious composites containing sawdust, recycled cardboard, or spent coffee grounds as partial volumetric replacements for fine aggregate. It contains mix proportions, batch-level slump measurements, specimen mass, testing assignments, peak loads, compressive and splitting-tensile strengths, nominal density, and mixture-level descriptive statistics for 11 mixtures and 33 final cylindrical specimens. The dataset comprises two compression specimens and one splitting-tensile specimen per mixture; accordingly, the tensile results and other limited-replication measurements should be interpreted descriptively.
