The present study aimed to determine the physical and mechanical properties of laboratory concrete made with different proportions cork powder. While resulting material lacked strength characteristic concrete, its may prove be apt for certain hardscaping agricultural uses, such as in manufacture pavement playgrounds parks, or kinds structures used livestock raising. These findings need analyzed verified.
