Abstract
We are aware that environment is affected drastically by manufacture of cement. It involves lot of
carbon emission associated with other chemicals. The researches has shown that every one ton of
cement manufacture releases half ton of carbon dioxide, so there is an immediate need to control the
usage of cement. On the other hand materials wastes such as Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash is difficult to
dispose which in return is environmental Hazard.
The Bagasse ash imparts high early strength to concrete and also reduce the permeability of concrete.
The Silica present in the Bagasse ash reacts with components of cement during hydration and imparts
additional properties such as chloride resistance, corrosion resistance etc. Therefore the use of Bagasse
ash in concrete not only reduces the environmental pollution but also enhances the properties of
concrete and also reduces the cost. It makes the concrete more durable.
This project mainly deals with the replacement of cement with Bagasse ash in fixed proportions. The
concrete mix designed by varying the proportions of Bagasse ash for 0%, 5%, 10%, 20% the cubes are
been casted and cured in normal water for ages of 7, 14 and 28 days. The test result indicate that the
strength of concrete increase up to 10% Sugar cane bagasse ash replacement with cement.
