Abstract

The exploratory review aims to research the utilization of sugar bagasse concrete as a partial replacement for conventional concrete to enhance the strength and durability of cement. An experimental study investigates the impact of sugar bagasse concrete on strength. According to the study, the application of sugarcane bagasse ash as a substitute material for cement yielded promising results due to its chemical composition, fineness, and well-controlled incineration process. Although many forms of ash do not exhibit hydraulic or pozzolanic reactivity, they can still be used as inert materials in civil construction. Tests including the slump cone test, compressive test, and tensile strength were conducted on concrete incorporating sugarcane bagasse ash as a cement substitute. The findings indicated that the sugarcane bagasse ash sample possessed physical qualities similar to those of cement. Hence, sugarcane bagasse debris can be used as a partial substitute for cement in concrete. The aim of this initiative is to replace cement with sugar bagasse ash at varying percentages. After a curing period of 7 to 28 days, the strength characteristics will be compared with those of traditional concrete, utilizing the concrete grade in this work. Utilizing sugarcane bagasse instead of regular concrete is expected to reduce costs.
