Abstract
Ingredients other than cement, water& aggregates that import a specific quality to either plastic(fresh)mix or the hardened concrete (ASTMC 496) is called concrete admixture. In this paper analysis of properties of concrete using banana peel as admixture is studied and verified the strength of concrete and temperature emitted due to chemical reaction to the normal Portland cement. As banana’s peel is rich in natural fiber and it is well known source of potassium. The flexural strength of concrete by using banana peel powder as admixture has increased, but considerable lesser compressive strength has increased. The percentage of transmission temperature and reduction time of temperature has decreased; hence it is clear that the exothermal reaction in concrete has been reduced by using dried banana peel powder as admixture.
Highlights
Banana’s peel was one of the massive construction material used as an admixture in historical construction industries
As banana are popular most consumed and worldwide produced fruit, Because of removal of bananas peel, a significant amount of kitchen waste is generated[1][2], which is very rich in fiber content, About 30-35% of total mass of fibers and carbohydrates
Mineral content in a banana peel is primarily consistent of potassium (78.10mg/g) and manganese (76.20mg/g)
