Experimental Study On Bagasse Ash in Concrete: Keywords

This study experimentally investigated the use of sugar cane bagasse ash as a partial replacement for cement in concrete. Bagasse ash, a byproduct of sugar refining, was characterized and then replaced cement at levels of 0%, 5%, 15%, and 25% by weight. Fresh concrete tests like slump and compaction factor were conducted, as well as hardened concrete tests measuring compressive, split tensile, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity at 7 and 28 days. The results showed that concrete strength increased as the percentage of bagasse ash replacement increased, indicating it can be used to improve quality and reduce the cost of concrete and other construction materials while providing a means to reduce environmental pollution from bagasse ash waste.

Abstract

Experimental Study on Bagasse Ash in concrete


The utilization of industrial and agricultural waste produced by industrial
processes has been the focus of waste reduction research for economical,
environmental,and technical reasons.Sugar-cane bagasse is a fibrous
waste-product of the sugar refining industry, along with ethanol vapor.This
waste product (Sugar-cane Bagasse ash) is already causing serious
environmental pollution, which calls for urgent ways of handling the
waste.Bagasse ash mainly contains aluminum ion and silica.In this paper,
Bagasse ash has been chemically and physically characterized, and
partially replaced in the ratio of 0%, 5%,15% and 25% by weight of
cement in concrete.Fresh concrete tests like compaction factor test and
slump cone test were undertaken was well as hardened concrete tests like
compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus
of elasticity at the age of seven and 28 days was obtained.The result
shows that the strength of concrete increased as percentage of bagasse
ash replacement increased.
Ordinary Portland cement is recognized as a major construction material
throughout the world. Researchers all over the world today are focusing
on ways of utilizing either industrial or agricultural waste, as a source of
raw materials for industry. This waste, utilization would not only be
economical, but may also result in foreign exchange earning and
environmental pollution control1.Industrial wastes, such as blast furnace
slag, fly ash and silica fume are being used as supplementary cement
replacement materials2.large A few studies have been carried out on the
ashes obtained directly from the industries to study pozzolanic activity
and their suitability as binders, partially replacing cement5. Therefore, it is
possible to use sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) as cement replacement
material to improve quality and reduce the cost of construction materials
such as mortar, concrete pavers, concrete roof tiles and soil cement
interlocking block.
To study use of bagasse ash in concrete. The utilization of industrial and
agricultural waste produced by industrial processes has been the focus of
waste reduction research for economical, environmental, and technical
reasons.
