Abstract

In this study, we examined the characteristics of sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) as a additional material in the mixture of concrete cubes. The additive material was collected from several sugarcane juice shop from Sathyamangalam and the bagasse get dried in sunlight for two days, sugarcane bagasse is burnt and ash is get collected and its chemical and physical properties was investigated. Sugarcane bagasse ash was replaced with cement in various proportions in the range of 5%–15% (Srinivasan and Sathiya, 2010) [1] . The SCBA mixed with cement and checked the quality tests on consistency and its time check on initial and final setting. The strength property due to compression of sugarcane bagasse ash concrete for different ratio was tested. The dumping of this material may cause environmental issues around the factories so the bagasse ash used as useful material. Therefore we decided to replace 10% in cement by sugarcane bagasse ash. The results of SCBA seem to be similar as concrete properties and replacement percentage could be increased and tested the performance of the concrete.
