This study investigates properties of light cementitious composite materials with waste wood chips. Although the testing methods and compared results attained in the present study show the importance of the paper, The authors should address the following comments:

 Novelty in comparison to recent literature? Need to be emphasized.

1. The results in the paper might be more discussed by the relevant literature.
2. Abstract: Please use comma (,) instead of “;”.
3. Lines 39-41. Please combine them.
4. Lines 46-48: “S. Chowdhury et al. used the micro-aggregate filling effect and 46 volcanic ash activity of wood ash to achieve good results in the application of replacement cement [5-8].” References 5-8 totally different.
5. Please corrected the reference style in the text. Exmp. Valeria et al. [11].
6. I strongly suggest that the introduction section should be rewritten.
7. There should be a space between number and unit. Please correct these errors in the paper.
8. Throughout the text, there are some typos that must be eliminated.
9. There should be a space between number and unit.
10. I suggest that the particle size distributions of Cement, GBFS and SAC should be added.
11. Fig 1: Please check a and b.
12. Fig 1b: Please add line scale with high resolution.
13.  Please use verb of “given” for Table and shown for “Figures”
14. Please add error bars to Figures. Error bar of the figures can help to show the distinction between the samples.
15. Fig 6: Please check a and b.
