To Study the Concrete by Partial Replacement of Cement with Tobacco Waste and Bamboo Leaf Ash with Addition of Sugarcane Fibre

Abstract: The demand for concrete is growing with the growing demand for infrastructure, energy and resources. One of these harms comes from the large emission of carbon dioxide gases during the manufacturing procedure of cement. The leaves, when dried and burnt, produce ashes that have been found to be pozzolanic. The carbohydrate content in bamboo plays an important role in its strength and in improving its health. The partial replacement of aggregates is need for the future generation of concrete structures for the environment supportable. The depletion of the natural resources gets exhausted. We have think over the alternate replacement of the materials. In present work the partial replacement of the TWA and BLA with the Cement and addition of sugarcane fibers. The optimum percentage that was noticed, was at 12&12% of cement was replaced Tobacco waste ash and Bamboo leaf ash and for reinforcement 0.6% of addition Sugar cane fibers was used. The workability of mixture increases and after that there is decrease in the workability of the concrete when we increase the percentage of TWA and BLA. A series of experiment were carried out to measure the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete. The results showed that the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength increases with the adding TWA and BLA with the Cement with addition of sugarcane fibers.

To Study the Partial Replacement of Cement with Bamboo Leaf Ash and Addition of Glass Fiber

Abstract: Concrete could be a material which is a mixture of coarse and fine mixture bonded along with a fluid cement (cement paste) that hardens or cures over time. Once aggregate is mixed with cement & water, the mixture forms a fluid suspension that's simply poured and formed into shape. The cement reacts with the water and different constituents to create a tough matrix that binds all the materials along into a stone-like material that has several uses. Reinforcement material used should have excellent bonding characteristic, high tensile strength and good thermal compatibility. Reinforcement requires that there shall be smooth transmission of load from the concrete to the interface between concrete and reinforcement material and then on to reinforcement material. . Glass fiber-reinforced concrete premix is a mixture of AR glass fiber, sand, cement, water, chemical and mineral admixtures, and aggregate. These fibers reduce crack width and spacing between cracks. They are very high temperature resistant as they absorb high energy thereby providing the property of ductility the content of bamboo ash is constituted of inorganic minerals, which consists mainly silica, potassium and calcium. Magnesium and manganese are other two common minerals. The result shows that concrete workability is fine and within limits after replacing cement with BLA with adding glass fibers. However, workability gets reduced at higher replacement of materials. The strength parameters such as compressive strength, flexural strength, and split tensile strength also increase and show an optimum value at 12% cement replacement and 1.5% Addition of glass fibers respectively. Test results are satisfactory up to 12% and 1.5% replacement. After this, there is a decrease in the strength of concrete.

Geotechnical Properties of Cement-Stabilized Lateritic Soil with Bamboo Leaf Ash in the Takie Area of Ogbomoso

This paper presents findings related to the impact of Bamboo Leaf Ash (BLA) and cement stabilization on the lateritic soil in the Takie Area of Ogbomoso. The study employed various testing methodologies to assess soil characteristics, particle size distribution, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) under different stabilization conditions. Chemical analysis compared Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and BLA, demonstrating distinct differences between the two materials. The results of particle size distribution affirmed an intermediate, moderately graded soil with low clay content primarily comprising sand and gravel. The CBR tests unveiled the considerable influence of cement and BLA percentages on the soil's bearing capacity in both unsoaked and soaked conditions. Notably, the introduction of 2% cement displayed the highest CBR value, especially when paired with 10% BLA, showing promising results for soil strength enhancement. Conversely, the impact of BLA on soil strength in soaked conditions was less pronounced. This research provides valuable insights into the use of BLA and cement stabilization in lateritic soil, contributing to the understanding of soil behavior for engineering applications.

Consciousness and Prospects of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Blocks for Wall Construction: Comparative Study Nigeria and South Africa

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Block (AACB) is a viable, sustainable walling material for building projects but has not been given the attention it deserves in developing countries. To increase the usage of AACB on building projects, this study examines the consciousness and prospects for its use in Nigeria and South Africa. The objectives are (i) to evaluate the degree of knowledge about AACB, (ii) the variants in Nigeria and South Africa, and to assess the likelihood of adopting AACB in Nigeria—the study centres on Lagos and five provinces in South Africa. Lagos was chosen in Nigeria because the State is the only place in Nigeria where AAC blocks have been used. A total of 145 questionnaires were administered to professionals who had been involved in AAC projects. In contrast, 17 South African respondents familiar with AACB in construction projects were polled online using Google Forms. Convenience and snowball sampling procedures were used for construction professionals in both countries. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0. Statistics such as percentages and mean scores were explored using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Mann-Whitney U test. Findings indicate that construction professionals in Nigeria know very little about 19 of the 20 documented AACBs. However, the South African professionals are very knowledgeable about AACB grade 42.5 OPC and AACB of AP/RHA and fully aware of AACB with grade 52.5 OPC, though they know nothing about the Bamboo Leaf Ash (BLA) AACB. This means that Nigerian professionals have a moderate stance on using AACB. The study concludes that South African Builders are more aware of AACB and its variants than Nigeria. This implies that AACB manufacturing in Nigeria would not thrive in the construction market due to poor patronage since patronage is directly related to product awareness. The study, therefore, suggests that building construction professionals should increase their understanding of AACB through continuous development training, workshops, and seminars on environmentally friendly building materials. Another suggestion is for consultants, clients, developers, contractors, governments, and research institutions to continuously conduct research and embrace findings on the AACB and new building construction materials regarding usage, wear, tears and durability.

COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF PAWPAW LEAF ASH AND BAMBOO LEAF ASH BLENDED CEMENT CONCRETE

The study determined the physical properties of pawpaw leaf ash and bamboo leaf ash blended cement concrete, the effect of curing age on compressive strength characteristics of pawpaw leaf ash and bamboo leaf ash blended cement concrete, and the effect of percentage replacement of cement with pawpaw leaf ash and bamboo leaf ash blended cement concrete on compressive strength. 100 ×100×100 mm cubes specimens were cast, and the concrete compressive strengths were determined at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of curing. The control sample, with 0% BLA and PLA replacement, exhibited the highest strength at 28 days but the lowest at 7 days. The sample with 5% BLA and PLA replacement showed an increase in strength at 14 days, a decrease at 21 days, and another increase at 28 days, with the highest strength observed at 14 days. On the other hand, the samples with 10%, 15%, and 20% BLA and PLA replacement demonstrated a consistent increase in strength, although a decrease in strength was observed at 28 days. The experiment revealed that the highest compressive strength was achieved at 28 days with 0% BLA and PLA replacement, while the lowest compressive strength was observed at 7 days with 20% BLA and PLA replacement. These findings indicate that the rate of strength development in BLA and PLA blended cement concrete is slower during the early curing period (7 days) but accelerates during later ages (14 days and 21 days), with a slight decrease at 28 days. In contrast, the control sample without BLA and PLA replacement exhibited slow strength development initially (7 days) but showed faster progress at later ages. Based on the test results, 20% replacement was found to be the optimum level for both compressive strength and workability of concrete with cement partially replaced with BLA and PLA.

Extraction of Silica from Bamboo Leaves Ash (Bambusoideae) Using Hydrochloric Acid and Nitric Acid

Bamboo leaves, a readily available agricultural waste globally, serve as a valuable source of organic silica, often referred to as biosilica. Despite containing a substantial silicon dioxide (SiO2) content, bamboo leaves are frequently discarded by communities. Remarkably, the silica content in bamboo leaves exceeds 70%. Acid leaching is employed to extract the silica, with various factors and types of acids being compared in the process. The resulting silica is highly porous and firmly bonded. The extracted silica's purity, amorphous nature, and the presence of functional groups have been verified through XRD and FTIR studies. Additionally, TGA is utilized to monitor the material's weight changes with increasing temperature.

Utilisation of silica from bamboo leaves Ash and modification with m-Toluoyl chloride in shellac; It’s microbial effect on pulai wood

The Gigantochloa albociliata species of bamboo leaves, were used in this study as a source of silica. One of the largest agricultural biomass wastes is bamboo leaves, which contain a silica content about 17 to 23% by weight. Amorphous silica is not frequently used in the wood-altering or timber-related industries. The purpose of this study is to characterize the silica extracted from bamboo leaves (BLA silica), immobilise it with selected biocide (m-Toluoyl chloride) and its application using shellac for moisture content and anti-microbial test on wood which is Alstonia scholaris. The application on wood with the biocide encapsulated with BLA silica + shellac (Bio-BLA + ) produced were compare with shellac, sodium silicate of BLA (BLA-Na2SiO3), and control (untreated). BLA silica was successfully extracted using the sol–gel method. It was functionalised with m-Toluoyl chloride and biocide encapsulated with Silica from BLA (Bio-BLA silica) was produced. The sample than applied onto wood and characterised using FTIR, SEM, XRD and EDS. The success of biocide ligands in a silica framework has been confirmed by spectroscopic characterisation. The amorphous structure of silica was conforming by XRD at 2θ = 23 peak and the porous structure of sample by SEM. Based on moisture content results, the BLA-Na2SiO3 give the higher result after 48 h which is 7.69% of moisture absorbent and follow by untreated, shellac and Bio-BLA +. While for the fungal growth rate, the result of Bio-BLA + after two weeks is the most effective (0–1) rate compare to others. The amorphous BLA silica are the best absorbent and it became more effective as biocide for wood when encapsulate with biocide and shellac (Bio-BLA + ). BLA refers to Bamboo Leaves Ash, Bio-BLA refers to Biocide with Bamboo Leaves Ash.

Study on the fretting wear behaviour of AZ91/BLA MMCs and the implications that BLA has on that behaviour

The core objective of this research is to develop an eco-friendly and cost-efficient engineering material termed “green composites.” These composites utilize waste bamboo leaf ash as a reinforcing element. Incorporating bamboo leaf ash into these composites offers several advantages due to its affordability, wide availability, and the presence of essential chemical compounds such as SiO2, CaO, TiO2, Al2O3, and others. Consequently, this investigation also examines the impact of bamboo leaf ash enriched with silica (referred to as BLA) on the fretting wear behaviour of Mg/BLA green composites. To create these composites, a bottom pouring stir casting setup was employed, with varying concentrations of BLA (1 wt% and 2 wt%) and reinforcement particles sized between 50 and 75 µm. The resulting cast products underwent machining in accordance with established testing standards and were subsequently polished using emery paper. These prepared samples were then subjected to testing in a fretting wear setup, utilizing a ball-on-flat contact configuration. The worn surfaces were thoroughly examined under a microscope, and data on the coefficient of friction were collected from the machine interface. The inclusion of BLA in the green composite enhanced the load-bearing capacity of the composite. Additionally, elements like CaO present in BLA acted as self-lubricating materials, resulting in a 21% reduction in the coefficient of friction and a 22% reduction in wear loss compared to the base alloy. The analysis of worn surfaces suggested that adhesive wear followed by oxidative and abrasive wear, were the predominant wear mechanisms in these green composites. Such environmentally-friendly materials with improved wear resistance properties have potential applications in situations prone to fretting wear.

A short study on the potential use and effect of bamboo leaf ash as reinforcement in MMCs

In an effort, to find more affordable ways to produce metal matrix composites, a number of attempts have been attempted to use the waste from industry and agriculture as reinforcement. The incorporation of agro-industrial garbage as reinforcement in MMCs has gained considerable attention as it improves the composite materials' mechanical and tribological characteristics. Employing such agro-industrial leftovers in a beneficial way lowers production costs and environmental degradation. An ample amount of work has been carried out on utilizing agricultural wastes including bagasse ash, rice husk, sawdust ash, corncob ash, straw husk etc. Very limited work has been reported upon the utilization of bamboo leaf as a reinforcement and its potential for any mechanical and/or tribological applications. This study provides an overview of the literature on the usage of agricultural waste i.e.,bamboo leaf ash in MMCs. It also illustrates the production procedure and characterization of BLA-induced MMCs. The current study also discusses potential applications for BLA and its reinforced composites.

FLEXURAL STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF PAWPAW LEAF ASH AND BAMBOO LEAF ASH BLENDED CEMENT CONCRETE

This research focuses on flexural strength characteristics of pawpaw leaf ash and bamboo leaf ash blended cement concrete. Several tests were carried out, according to BS and ASTM requirements to determine the physical and mechanical properties of pawpaw leaf ash and bamboo leaf ash blended cement concrete, investigate the effects of curing age on flexural strength characteristics of pawpaw leaf ash and bamboo leaf ash blended cement concrete and examine the effects of percentage replacement of cement with pawpaw leaf ash and bamboo leaf ash blended cement concrete on flexural strength characteristics. A total of 60 cubes were cast, cured in water for 7, 14, 21 and 28days. Test results showed that the flexural strength of the concrete cubes increases with an increase in the curing age and decreases with increasing percentage replacement of cement with pawpaw leaf ash and bamboo leaf ash. The optimum replacement level of pawpaw leaf ash and bamboo leaf ash was obtained to be 5%. The study concluded that concrete containing the cement blends of cement and Pawpaw leaf ash and bamboo leaf ash at a replacement level of 5% is only recommendable for use in light concrete works construction.

A TAGUCHI-TOPSIS HYBRID TECHNIQUE TO ENHANCE THE FRETTING WEAR CHARACTERISTICS FOR SiC AND SILICA-ENRICHED BLA-REINFORCED AZ91D Mg ALLOY-BASED MMCs

This investigation intends to come up with a cost-efficient and easily available bamboo leaf ash (BLA) which has high content of Silica, as an effective and complimenting reinforcement for the production of magnesium alloy-based metal matrix composites. By incorporating SiC and BLA reinforcement to AZ91D Mg alloy, the composites were made using the bottom pouring stir casting technique. The ratio between SiC and BLA in the composite, respectively, varied as 0:0, 6:0, 0:6, 4:2, 3:3, 2:4 wt.%. Fretting wear is one of the fundamental modes of wear for any mating parts which have vibration with low amplitude. In this study, an integrated Taguchi-TOPSIS is adapted to make the process variables more optimal for fretting wear of composites. Material composition, load, temperature, time, frequency and stroke length are selected as process parameters. The objective is to minimize the coefficient of friction, volume loss and surface roughness. Using the TOPSIS approach, the multi-criteria optimization approach was reduced to a single-criteria issue. The results revealed AZ91D/2 wt.% SiC/4 wt.% BLA, 10N, room temperature, 30-min, 30 Hz and 0.7 mm stroke as optimal parameters. Microscopic study demonstrates that fretting wear occurs in the partial slip zone for the composite tested at optimal condition. With temperature, the wear regime in composites shifts from partial slip to mixed fretting, whereas in alloys, the wear regime shifts from mixed fretting to gross slip. When the correct set of circumstances are available, hybrid composite can function well as a replacement for traditional materials in machineries vulnerable to fretting wear.

ACID WASH INFLUENCES ON PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BAMBOO LEAVES ASH

Silica production from sandstone requires tremendous fossil resources that threaten our environment. Hence, greener resources from biomass should be utilized. One of them is from bamboo leaves which contain rich silica in ash. Even so, acid wash should be applied to achieve higher silica purity. This work aims to investigate the acid wash influences on the physicochemical characteristics of bamboo leaves ash (BLA). The treatment used 1 mol/L HCl under 1-h, 2-h, and no acid wash as a control. The BLA crystallography indicates a fully amorphous phase of silica. Interestingly, 1-h acid wash precisely reduces the silica purity from 95.35% to 94.74%, but it then increases to 96.06% under 2-h acid wash. It is also notified that the longer acid wash duration could alleviate leaves’ mechanical strength. After calcination, consequently, a smaller average particle size of BLA was nominated under 2-h acid wash (6.32 mm). It was then followed by 1-h acid wash (21.32 mm) and no acid wash (149.44 mm). The 2-h acid wash is concluded able to intensify silica purity as well as reduce the particle size of BLA. Finally, acid wash treatment becomes important to facilitate further BLA extraction in order to achieve high purity of silica.

Performance of agro-wastes and chemical admixtures used in concrete: A review

Concrete is an artificial composite material made up of four main components: cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, and water. Because of its adaptability, durability, and economic issues, it has rapidly gained popularity as a construction material around the globe. The manufacturing process of cement leads to the release of significant quantities of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Finding alternatives to cement and natural aggregates is becoming more necessary and important.The ash that is produced when agricultural waste is burned as a fuel presents a few problems, such as the contamination of the soil, but it also has the potential to be used as a cement substitutebecause of its pozzolanic qualities. This research paper explores the utilization of agro-waste ashes, including Corn cob ash (CCA), Rice husk ash (RHA), Palm oil fuel ash (POFA), wood waste ash (WWA), bamboo leaf ash (BLA), Coconut husk ash (CHA), Groundnut shell ash (GSA), and sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA), as substitutes for cement in concrete mixtures. Additionally, it delves into a comprehensive examination of various chemical admixtures such as water reducing, corrosion inhibiting, shrinkage reducing which are commonly employed to improve concrete performance. The use of agricultural waste in cement and concrete could lead to a range of benefits which include reduced CO2 emissions, improved strength and durability properties of concrete resulting lower the production costs of concrete. Chemical admixtures help to attain stronger and durable concrete.

Effects of Bamboo Leaf Ash on Alkali-Silica Reaction in Concrete

The construction industry is generally faced with so many challenges of which deterioration in concrete structures caused by Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is one of the pressing challenges. This reaction induces expansion in concrete, resulting in its eventual cracking and subsequent failure. Research direction is being geared towards obtaining properties of pozzolanic concrete of recently discovered different biogenic pozzolans such as bamboo leaf ash (BLA). BLA has been proven to be acceptable in terms of compressive strength and some other properties but few researches have been performed on the impacts of ASR on BLA concrete structures. This research work focuses on investigating the properties of BLA through X-ray diffraction and fluorescence analyses, and its effectiveness in resisting or eliminating ASR that may be present in concrete. Tests were performed on concrete bars soaked in NaOH at a temperature of 80 oC to determine the possible reactivity of aggregates to ASR. In addition, workability and the compressive strengths of BLA concrete at different percentage levels were determined after curing for 7, 28 and 56 days. The findings of the research show that BLA improves the workability of fresh concrete, however, it causes a decline in the compressive strength of concrete when compared with the strength of conventional concrete. Also, BLA has no detrimental effect on the linear expansion of concrete. This study recommends that a 5% partial replacement of cement with BLA will give effective performance when used in areas where strength is not the major priority.

Effect of reinforced diverse synthetic and agricultural-industrial waste materials on the microstructural and mechanical performance of hybrid metal matrix composite

This report provided a thorough analysis of previous research on the topic under consideration from the previous year's research. This research work focuses on the microstructural and mechanical performance of hybrid metal matrix composite (HMMC) reinforced with different synthetic and agricultural-industrial wastes. By varying the wt% of Synthetic (i.e. carbon allotropes, AlB2 TiB2, CeO2, B4C, SiC, MgO, TiC, TiC, WC, and TiB2, etc.) + Industrial–Agricultural Wastes materials (i.e. Bean shell ash (BSA), Sugarcane bagasse, Neem seed, Wheat husk ash (WHA), rice husk ash (RHA), Corn cob ash (CCA), bamboo leaf ash (BLA), palm kernel shell ash (PKSA), etc.) reinforced in the metal matrix to create HMMC using solid andliquid-state processing. Result of that, the material properties, microstructure, and wear parameters, etc of composite materials, were examined, and found improvement in microstructural and mechanical performance. But Agro-Industrial Wastes be prominent due to their low density, reduce the overall cost as well as helps to overcome the addition of synthetic reinforcement cost, eliminate the problem of a landfill, and improve the strength of a composite, because they have elements such as MgO, K2O, ZnO, MnO, Na2O, Fe2O3, SiO2, CaO, SO3, P2O5, Al2O3, Li2O, SO3, SrO, TiO2, etc. To fabricate the high Tribological performance and high mechanical strength HMMC uses them as reinforcements to make them attractive. The purpose of this review is to examine the most effective Synthetic + Industrial agricultural waste materials and their percentage effect on mechanical and tribological properties.

Performance evaluation of bamboo leaf ash and steel slag powder as alternative filler in asphaltic mixes

The need to improve the quality of asphalt concrete and to control the disposal of waste into the environment has been an issue of concern to most researchers. This study investigated the re-use of bamboo leaf ash (BLA) and steel slag powder (SSP) as replacements for conventional mineral filler, quarry dust (QD). Asphaltic concrete binder (BC) and wearing (WC) courses were prepared with SSP and BLA, while QD was used as control. Laboratory tests were carried out on the BC and WC to determine the Marshal and mechanical properties of the mixes. The properties are stability, flow voids, indirect tensile strength, tensile strength ratio, fatigue test, resilient modulus, cantabro loss test, skid resistance, and retain strength. The performance of asphalt mixtures containing SSP improved the marshal stability, indirect tensile test, ravelling resistance, and rutting resistance of the asphaltic concrete by 10, 15, 20, and 25%, respectively, more than the control compared to BLA. The moisture resistance, fatigue, and resilience moduli of the control (QD) were found to be a little higher than the SSP and BLA, with 15, 20, and 25%, respectively. The use of BLA and SSP is cheaper as compared to conventional fillers; BLA and SSP for wearing and binder courses are 4.35%, 4.13%, and 3.17%, 3.03% lower respectively, for 1 tonne of asphalt concrete produced. The result of this study suggests that re-using SSP and BLA can be a substitute for conventional filler to achieve a more satisfactory performance, cost-effectiveness, and a means of effective waste disposal.

Pengaruh Penambahan Sebagian Abu Daun Bambu Sebagai Filler Pada Campuran Aspal AC-WC Terhadap Karakteristik Marshall Dengan Variasi Perendaman

Asphall concrate wearing course (AC-WC) is the topmost pavement layer which functions as a wear layer. Filler function is very important to modify the gradation offine agregate in the asphall mixture so that the density increases. Asphall concrate layer (laston) is a cover layer consisting of a densely graded agregate mixture with struktural properties. The purpuse of this study was to determine the effect and variation of immersiontime on the properties and characteristics of asphal with bamboo leaf ash as part of the added material, namely 10%, 15%, and 20% with variations of immersion, 3 days, 7 days and 14 days. The number of samples of test objects made were 48 samples, with 15 normal sampels of test comparison, 27 samples of variations, 6 samples of remaining KAO. The manufacture of test specimens hot mixed and refersto the 2018test apparatus with a temperature of 60ºC and is continuedout with the marshall test to obtain stability and flow values. Based on research results and data analysis of AC-WC asphalt mixtures with the addition of 10%, 15%, 20% bamboo leaf ash, with soaking variations of 3 days, 7 days, 14 days. From the laboratory results, the addition of 20% bamboo leaf ash can increase the density, FLOW and VFB values, while a decrease occurs in the stability of VMA, MQ and VIM, but not too drastically because it is still in the specification stage

Effect of Bamboo Leaf Ash on The Properties of Geopolymer Concrete at Ambient Curing Temperature

As a result of the growing environmental concerns in the cement industry and the rising cost of building materials, alternative cement technologies have become an area of increasing interest. In this study, geopolymer concrete containing fly ash class F and bamboo leaf ash was chosen as a cement substitute in concrete manufacturing. This research was an experimental study evaluating the effect of bamboo leaf ash (BLA) on geopolymer concrete by addition as a partial replacement of fly ash. The test samples were 100 x 100 x 100 mm cubes and 300 x 150 mm cylinders at the ambient curing temperature. The design mix of C25 was used for this study. This research aimed to explore the suitability of the use of bamboo leaf ash as a mixing material in geopolymer concrete in more environmentally friendly industries. The properties that were investigated in this study are the basic aggregate tests, XRF analyses of BLA and fly ash, and workability tests by evaluating slump and compaction factor tests. In addition, compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of 28, 56, and 90 days. Therefore, in this study, various levels of bamboo leaf ash were utilized, including 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% BLA. The alkaline liquid-to-binder ratio for all mixes was constant at 0.6, while the Na2SiO3 to NaOH ratio was 2.5. The test results of the workability show that the increased amount of bamboo leaf ash gradually reduces the alkaline liquid. The result of compressive and splitting tensile showed that fly ash substitutes that contained 5% and 10% of the bamboo leaf had higher strengths of about 38.7 MPa, 40.8 MPa, 4 MPa, and 4.22 MPa, respectively than other mixtures. Therefore, bamboo leaf ash can be one of the constituent materials used to improve the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete
