Resumé

With increasing demand and consumption of cement, researchers and scientist are in search of developing alternate binders that are ecofriendly and contribute towards waste management. The utilization of industrial and agricultural waste produced by industrial processes has been the focus on waste reduction. One of the agro waste sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) which is a fibrous waste product obtained from sugar mills as byproduct is taken for study area. This experimental and analytical study investigates the durability of M35 concrete mix using ordinary Portland cement and sugarcane bagasse ash as partial replacement in ordinary Portland cement. Sugarcane bagasse ash was obtained by burning of sugarcane at 700 to 800°C in sugar refining industry; bagasse ash obtained from burning was grounded until the particles passed the 90 micron sieve. The disposal of this material is already causing environmental problems around the sugar factories. In this project objective is to study the influence of partial replacement of Portland cement with sugarcane bagasse ash in concrete subjected to different acidic environments. The variable factors considered in this study were concrete grade of M35 and curing periods of 28, 60, 90 days of the concrete specimens in 1, 3, and 5% of sulfuric acid in water for curing the specimens. Bagasse ash has been partially replaced in the ratio of 0, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10% by weight.  Keywords: Sugarcane bagasse ash, compressive strength, durability, sulfuric acid Cite this Article Rambabu PV, Aditya G, Ramarao GV.
