Abstract

Cement was partially replaced by sugarcane bagasse ash at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, & 20% and the properties of concrete in both wet and hardened states are investigated experimentally and the results are compared. M25 grade design mix concrete (1:1.9:3.55) with 0.5 water cement ratio was used for this experimental research. Workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, bond strength, and sulphate resistance tests were conducted to investigate the feasibility of sugarcane bagasse ash as a cement replacement material in concrete. Based on the results of the present experimental investigation, it is suggested that sugarcane bagasse ash without treatment/heating can be used to replace up to 10% cement in concrete.
