In this study, the sawdust-palm kernel shellcrete composite was analysed. The sawdust-palm kernel shellcrete composite issue has been solved. Sawdust and palm kernel shells in weight varied from 100:0 to 90:10, 80:20 to 70:30, and 60:40 to 50:50 in composition. Urea formaldehyde (20% of the oven dry weight of agricultural waste) was used as a test binder. There were 300 m particles in the agricultural waste used in the process. A high water absorption capacity of aggregate materials and the need to build lightweight concrete with sufficient workability, strength, and durability led to the selection of these specific ratios of water to cement. In terms of yield strength (4.47 N/mm2), tensile strength (7.75 N/mm2), modulus of elasticity (2603 n/mm2), modulus of rupture (16.67 n/mm2), internal bond strength (0.54), thickness swelling (10.30 percent), water absorption (18.90 percent), and density (996.18 kg/m3), sawdust and palm kernel compositions performed best.
