Utilizing these materials for a second time reduces waste generation, contributing to conserving valuable natural resources. This underscores the importance of sustainable construction practices. This study outlines the experimental results concerning the mechanical attributes when employing a combination of micro sand silica and a bio-binder, specifically Abelmoschus esculentus. The investigated mechanical properties in this study encompass modulus, strength, and toughness. The experimentation involved mixing Abelmoschus esculentus with varying weight percentages and three distinct micro-size particles and then compressing them into cylindrical samples. Abelmoschus esculentus demonstrated favorable adhesion properties with sand silica particles, and the findings suggest a noteworthy impact on the mechanical properties upon its addition. Overall, it was observed that the optimal mechanical properties were attained with a 15% weight ratio of Abelmoschus esculentus bio-binder at a particle size of 250 µm.
