Abstract
Cement is the main constituent ingredient in concrete. Now days many investigations undergone for substitute of cement due to green houses effect and global warming .Many new products like rice husk ash, egg shell powder, baggage ash, etc are used as an effluent replacement material for cement. The new and Practical material for substitute of cement is water hyacinth ash .Water hyacinth ash (WHA), is used as an effectual replacement of partial cement, and it has been proved in several characteristics of concrete. The main important parameters in concrete are strength, durability and workability. In this paper, 10 % of cement replaced by water hyacinth ash to investigate the effects of WHA on durability and Strength in concretes. On this basis, specimens were engrossed in water and acid to study the absorption property, acid attack and compared to conventional concrete. The test results show that replacement of cement by WHA in concrete has improved the parameters of concrete.
Highlights
Introduction➢ To analyze the water absorption property of Water hyacinth ash (WHA) replacement concrete and conventional concrete
The results show 10 percent of water hyacinth ash is the optimum replacement for cement in concrete
Cement is replaced by 10 % of Water hyacinth ash (WHA) to found the water absorption property, loss of mass in chlorine resistance attack and strength aspects
Summary
➢ To analyze the water absorption property of WHA replacement concrete and conventional concrete. Concrete is the main constituents materials considered in the construction industry all over the world. Water hyacinth ash is new alternative material for cement. It can be visible on lakes and ponds. Water hyacinth ash are replaced in cement and tested earlier for some mechanical characteristics of concrete. The results show 10 percent of water hyacinth ash is the optimum replacement for cement in concrete. Durability is the property of resistance of concrete against chemical attack, and environmental pollutants. Cement is replaced by 10 % of WHA to found the water absorption property, loss of mass in chlorine resistance attack and strength aspects.
