Abstract :In the recent year, with the development of technology the acceleration of the manufacturing of new products has increased the use of raw materials in the industry. In addition to decreasing underground resources, increased environmental pollution has opened the way for the use of natural materials in the industry. Also, the reuse of materials, which were recycled by recovery methods, is both conservation and economical method in terms of raw material deficiency. In this study, mechanical properties of sandwich composites made of natural and recycled material were investigated. In this context, core material with different thicknesses insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm); were produced using different size granules insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1 mm, 2 mm and 4 mm);, which were recycled from the used vehicle tire. Sandwich composite materials have become final with the combination of core materials with natural jute fabric reinforced laminated composites. In order to test the usability of the produced sandwich composite materials as building material, the mechanical behaviours of the sandwich composite were investigated under tension and compression load. Test results show that mechanical behaviour of the material varies according to the granular size, thickness of the core material, and fiber orientation of reinforcement fabric.
