Study on the using of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash as the Partial Replacement of Cement

Sugarcane is one of the major crops grown in over the world and its total production is increase day by day. After the extraction of all economical sugar from sugarcane, about 40-45% fibrous residues is obtained. The development exercises are expanding because of the advancement and urbanization of nations. The concrete comprise of higher quality, great toughness and different imperative variables and properties which make the concrete appropriate for construction, so requirement of cement is getting more as a construction material. Manufacturing process comprising material preparation, mixing, placing, compaction and curing is reported in the thesis. Napthalene-based superplasticiser was found to be useful to improve the workability of fresh Sugarcane Bagasse Ash, as well as the addition of extra water. The main parameters affecting the compressive strength of hardened Sugarcane Bagasse Ash are the curing temperature and curing time, the molar H2O-to-Na2O ratio, and mixing time.
