Performance Evaluation of High Strength Concrete with Sugarcane Bagasse Ash as Partial Replacement for Cement

Abstract

Concrete is typically a significant individual material component in the built environment. If the amount of concrete can be decreased without degrading the product's performance or increasing the cost, significant environmental and monetary savings may be realized. Portland cement, sand, aggregate, and water make up the majority of a concrete mix. In some cases, Portland cement may be replaced in building projects using sugarcane bagasse ash without significantly reducing the compressive strength. A self-contained breathing apparatus SCBA is a waste product created when sugar refineries burn sugarcane bagasse. Sugarcane is one of the principal crops grown in 110 different countries. Between 8 and 10% of bagasse ash and around 30% of sugarcane bagasse are produced annually by sugarcane. The ingredients of cement enhance cement properties and reduce environmental pollution. SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, and Mgo are present in the SCBA component and can, to some extent, be used in place of cement. Concrete qualities will be maintained with the aid of contemporary additives such as SCBA powder and a partial replacement of cement.
