EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON SUGARCANE BAGASSE ASH IN CONCRETE BY PARTIAL REPLACEMENT WITH CEMENT by Amandeep Kaur
Abstract
There are dozens impacts of cement on our environment. More environmental problems are enerated by manufacturing of cement in cement industries and they can produce CO2 emissions in large amount. Researchers are more focused on the environmental effects. With increases the demand and consumption of cement, researchers are in search of developing an secondary binders of material that binders are ecofriendly and impart the waste management. The reduction of waste material can be reduced by the utilization of industrial and agricultural waste material which are produced by the industries. In this present work, sugarcane bagasse ash is used as a binding material in concrete. The sugarcane bagasse is produced by the sugar mills after the extraction of juice. The sugarcane bagasse ash is obtained when it is burnt on uncontrolled conditions. Sugarcane bagasse ash is the most part of land fill. Sugarcane bagasse ash is taken from Ludhiana and used as pozzalonic material because it contain pozzalonic properties. In this work, M25 grade of concrete used by replacing of sugarcane bagasse ash (0%, 3%, 6%, 9% and 12%) by weight of cement. The properties for hardened concrete. The tests conducted compressive strength at the age of 7 and 28 days. The Flexural strength, Split tensile strength, Water absorption, Abrasion resistance and Water permeability test was conducted at the age of 28 days. The tests results of compression, split tensile and flexural strength and permeability increases upto a certain limit, than it start decreases. The water absorption increases with increases the percentages of sugarcane bagasse ash in concrete
