Effect Of Use Of Bagasse Ash On Strength Of Concrete

With Increasing Demand And Consumption Of Cement, Researchers And Scientist Are In Search Of Developing Alternate Binders That Are Ecofriendly And Contribute Towards Waste Management. The Utilization Of Industrial And Agricultural Waste Produced By Industrial Processes Has Been The Focus On Waste Reduction. One Of The Agro Waste Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash (SCBA)Which Is A Fibrous Waste Product Obtained From Sugar Mills As Byproduct. Juice Is Extracted From Sugar Cane Then Ash Produced By Burning Bagasse In Uncontrolled Condition And At Very High Temperature. In This Paper SCBA Has Been Chemically And Physically Characterized And Partially Replaced In The Ratio Of 0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% And 30% By Weight Of Cement In Concrete. The Properties For Fresh Concrete Are Tested Like Slump Cone Test And For Hardened Concrete Compressive Strength At The Age Of 7,28,56 And 90 Days. The Test Result Indicate That The Strength Of Concrete Increase Up To 15% SCBA Replacement With Cement.
