2. INTRODUCTION
Cement –widely used construction material
Due to increase in demand
Researchers and scientist are in search of
alternative binder(eco friendly)

Agro waste from sugar cane industry
Bagasse-fibrous waste after extraction of
juice
Exhibits pozzolanic property

8. Observations
The density is low
• Hence low weight concrete is obtained
Specific surface area is high
• Therefore adsorption, reaction on
surface etc are improved

*HPC- High perfomance concrete
10. The percentage of silica is high-
responsible for pozzolanic property
Silica reacts with components of cement
during hydration imparts additional
properties-Chloride resistance,Corrosion
resistance etc

M25 grade
Water cement ratio-0.48
Mixing
Mixed in mixer machine thoroughly –
consistency is achieved

Specimens
150mmx150mmx150mm cubes
(compressive strength)
150mmx300mm cylinder(split tensile
strength)
750mmx150mmx150mm prism(flexural

16Bagasse ash as replacement for cement in concrete
17. Casting
Before casting oil is spreaded on inner
surface of mould
Concrete is poured and
compacted(using vibrator)
Top surface is finished by trowel

18. Curing
Demoulded after 24 hours
Cured under water
Testing
The compressive, flexural and split
tensile strength is tested

Flexural strength of M25 grade concrete at different ages
25. Test results
The compressive strength ,split tensile
strength and flexural strength increases by
increasing % of SCBA up to 10%
Beyond 10% the strength decreases
This is due to quantity of SCBA is higher
than the amount required

26. It combines with liberated lime
Leading to excess silica leaching out
Causes deficiency in strength

27. Effect of elevated temperature
The properties of concrete changes –
exposed to elevated temperature
Bagasse partially replaced - exposed to
different elevated temperature
(2000C,4000C,6000C,8000C)
For one hour
27Bagasse ash as replacement for cement in concrete
28. Immediately cooled with water
At 2000C concrete had better
compressive strength than room
temperature
It is due to micro filling ability and
pozzolanic properties of SCBA

29. Sudden decrease in strength at 8000C and
6000C
Damage occurs to calcium silicate
hydrate (CSH strength contributing
compound)

30. Conclusion
Density is less therefore light weight
concrete can be obtained
Workability increases
Use of super plasticizers is not essential
30Bagasse ash as replacement for cement in concrete
31. Compressive ,flexural, split tensile
strength increases (10% replacement)
Compressive strength increases – upto
2000C elevated temperature
