Effective utilization of sugarcane bagasse Ash, rice husk Ash& Metakaolin in concrete

Abstract

Research on effective use of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA), Rice Husk Ash (RHA) & Metakaolin enhances the strength & durability properties of concrete. The strength & durability of concrete is reduced under acidic water curing but till it is higher as compared to the control mix concrete which cure under acidic water. The cement in the concrete replaced by Bagasse Ash, RHA& Metakaolin by the percentage 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%& 40%. The result obtained is beneficial in improving the compressive strength (CS), flexural Strength (FS), Split tensile strength (STS), water penetration and resistance to the chloride penetration of concrete.
