Partial Replacement of Cement with Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (original) (raw)

It's 21 st century and the entire world is heading towards modernization and development. The world needs to be sustainable such that not only we but also our future generation is not deprived off, the various sources which we are using now. On other hand development and modernization should not have an adverse effect on environment. One such problem is manufacturing of cement which damage lot of environment on daily basis as there is lot of emission of oxides of carbon and other harmful gases. Thus this research paper describes how an agricultural waste material such as Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) can be partially replaced with cement in concrete as a secondary binding material in order to decrease the cement requirement which in turn will have a positive effect on environment. Having high silica content, SCBA can be easily used in place of cement at some fixed proportion. The sugarcane bagasse ash used for the research is obtained from The " Shriram Sahakar Shaker karkhana Ltd. Mouda. " Which grinded and sieved through sieve of size 150 micron and the residue of ash after receiving, were used in concrete as a partial replacement of concrete as a partial replacement of cement in the ratio 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% By weight of cement pozzolona Portland cement 53 grade cement used in study. The effect of replacement of cement by SCBA on the compressive strength of concrete at the age of 7 Days, 14 Days and 28 Days were determined.
