Effect of addition of glass fibre on sugar cane bagasse ash under compressive loading

Abstract

This research defines the result of studies on a Sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) material through laboratory experiment. The material prepared with mix ratio (0.2 % to 1.0 %), Blast furnace slag as mix ratio proportion (10%), glass fibre as reinforcing materials, cement (10%,15% and 20%) and water (50%,60%) for mix in to homogeneous slurry were added to material. The consequence of mix ratio percentages on density, compressive strength are studied. It was observed that the density of materials with inclusion of glass fibre ranging between 1101 kg/m3 to 1326 kg/m3. The compressive strength of material increases as percentages of cement increase from 10 to 20%. The compressive strength of materials influenced considerably by mix ratio 0.2 % to 1.0 %. The stress–strain outline was observed to be nonlinear for every mix ratio percentage and curing duration.
