Abstract:

The utilization of waste materials in concrete manufacture provides a satisfactory solution to some of the environmental concerns and problems associated with waste management. Agro wastes such as rice husk ash, wheat straw ash, hazel nutshell and sugarcane bagasse ash are used as pozzolanic materials for the development of blended cements. Few studies have been reported on the use of Bagasse Ash (BA) as partial cement replacement material in respect of cement mortars. In this study, the effects of BA content as partial replacement of cement on compatibility of cement with bagasse ash and mechanical properties of hardened concrete are reported. The properties of concrete investigated include compressive strength, flexural strength, and heat of hydration. The test results indicate that BA is an effective mineral admixture, with 10% as optimal replacement ratio of cement.
