An Experimental Study on Strength Parameters of Mortar by Partial Replacement of Cement with Sugarcane Ash and Sand with Marble Granuals: A Review

In the present age the waste generated from industries such as sugarcane ash and marble waste is the huge concern for the environment, health, and cause for land filling. Recycling of such wastes and using them in construction materials appears to be viable solution not only to the pollution problem but also the economical option in construction. Incorporation of supplementary cementitious materials in mortar is necessary for sustainability. Supplementary cementitious materials are not only sustainable but also mechanical and durability properties of mortar. In this study sugarcane bagasse ash is incorporated as replacement of cement and granular marble as a replacement of fine aggregate in mortar. The levels of replacement of cement by sugarcane bagasse ash are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and25% and marble granular are 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%. The properties which are determined and compared in this study are workability, 7, 14 and 28 days compressive strength. The present study investigates the effect of pozzolanic material in mortar and hence improving the strength of mortar. This work evaluates the performance of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SBA) as a partial replacement of cement in mortar and also replaced with granular marble as a fine aggregate. In this project the SBA percentage is with different replacement of granular marble. The strength properties of mortar compared with the above varying percentage and the result on which it gives maximum strength is found out.
