The purpose of this research is to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of lathe scrap reinforced cementitious composites. For this purpose, the cementitious composites containing lathe scrap were made for 2mm width and 40mm length of lathe scrap, and then the mechanical characteristics such as compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and elastic modulus of the cementitious composites were estimated. It was observed from the test results that splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of the cementitious composites were significantly improved than plain mortar but compressive strength and elastic modulus were only a slightly increased.
