“…In addition, different pozzolanic materials have been used. The use of different SCMs, including palm oil fuel ash [7], rice husk ash [8], fly ash [9], pulverized fuel ash [10], and date palm ash [11,12] were evaluated. It is confirmed that the use of those materials can improve the mechanical properties of concrete, including compressive strength [13][14][15][16].…”

“…During the hydration process of Portland cement, calcium silica hydrate (C-S-H) and calcium hydroxide are produced. Then, with the availability of POFA, as a pozzolan, it reacts with calcium hydroxide to produce more C-S-H structures [34,35] and thus improve the overall quality of concrete [11]. These reactions can be typically expressed as follows:…”

The utilization of a high-volume of treated palm oil fuel ash (T-POFA) as a partial cement substitution is one of the solutions presented to reduce carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) and improve concrete sustainability. In this study, the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is adapted as an artificial neural network (ANN) modeling tool to predict the compressive strength of self-compacting concrete (SCC) containing T-POFA. The ANFIS model has been developed and validated using concrete mixtures incorporating 0%, 10 wt%, 20 wt%, 30 wt%, 50 wt%, 60 wt%, and wt 70% T-POFA as a replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) at a constant water/binder (W/B) ratio of 0.35. The experimental data were divided into 70% training data and 30% testing data. The experimental results of self-compacting concrete (SCC) containing T-POFA ensured comparable or higher compressive strengths, especially at later ages, when compared to the control SCC. However, the prediction results of the compressive strength of SCC samples using the ANFIS model are very close to the experimental values. The developed ANFIS model showed a highly-efficient performance to predict the SCC compressive strength. In addition, the obtained accurate predicted results using the developed ANN model will significantly affect the current experimental protocols, especially for costly and unsafe experiments.

“…In Figure 6 a, at

between 25° and 30°, it is shown that CH peak intensity decreased for BA-blended mortar. Similarly, a previous study also used XRD to detect and analyze the C–S–H [ 32 , 33 ]. C–S–H is a nanoscale material, which is mainly responsible for the compressive strength of cement.…”

Investigation on Control Burned of Bagasse Ash on the Properties of Bagasse Ash-Blended Mortars

et al. 2021

In recent years, partial replacement of cement with bagasse ash has been given attention for construction application due to its pozzolanic characteristics. Sugarcane bagasse ash and fine bagasse particles are abundant byproducts of the sugar industries and are disposed of in landfills. Our study presents the effect of burning bagasse at different temperatures (300 °C and 600 °C) on the compressive strength and physical properties of bagasse ash-blended mortars. Experimental results have revealed that bagasse produced more amorphous silica with very low carbon contents when it was burned at 600 °C/2 h. The compressive strength of mortar was improved when 5% bagasse ash replaced ordinary portland cement (OPC) at early curing ages. The addition of 10% bagasse ash cement also increased the compressive strength of mortars at 14 and 28 days of curing. However, none of the bagasse ash-blended portland pozzolana cement (PPC) mortars have shown improvement on compressive strength with the addition of bagasse ash. Characterization of bagasse ash was done using XRD, DTA-TGA, SEM, and atomic absorption spectrometry. Moreover, durability of mortars was checked by measuring water absorption and apparent porosity for bagasse ash-blended mortars.

“…By‐products of the agroindustry can be studied, aiming to use mineral additions in cementitious matrices (Rossignolo et al., 2017). Some recent examples that can be cited in different countries of agroresidues for partial replacement of cement or sand in conventional concrete, compacted concrete, and filling concrete: Different types of residues of agroproducts: cork powder, Portugal (Ramos et al., 2014); date palm waste, Saudi Arabia (Nasir & Al‐Kutti, 2019); palm oil fly ash, Russia (Faridmehr et al., 2021); Rice straw residues: Thailand (Sua‐Iam & Makul, 2013); USA (Venkatanarayanan & Rangaraju, 2014); Pakistan (Abbas, 2017); Bénin (Chabi et al., 2018); Wood ash: Sri Lanka (Subramaniam et al., 2015); USA (Yang et al., 2016); India (Batt & Garg, 2017; Chowdhury et al., 2015); Lithuania (Skripkiūnas et al., 2017); Sugarcane bagasse ash: India (Dhengare et al., 2015; Reddy et al., 2015); Brazil (Almeida et al., 2015; Moretti et al., 2018; Rossignolo et al., 2017); Mexico (Landa‐Ruiz et al., 2021); Charcoal residue: Sub‐Saharan Africa (Mwampamba et al., 2013); Brazil (Beline et al., 2015; Bortoletto et al., 2017; Mota et al., 2017; Ramos, 2015; Reis, 2019; Santos et al., 2015). …”

Incorporating agroindustrial waste into cementitious composites can minimize natural resource consumption and decrease the construction industry's environmental impact. This paper aims to evaluate the potential of using charcoal residues (CR) to partially replace fine sand (by volume) on cementitious mortars’ properties. The microstructure and corresponding physicochemical compositions were determined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fluorescence, and X‐ray diffraction without prior processing. Test specimens were produced with CR in the contents of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% concerning fine sand. After the test specimens curing period, the axial compression strength, tensile strength by diametrical compression, and the SEM were combined with X‐ray dispersion spectrometry. The results showed that although the CR does not present themselves as pozzolanic materials, their incorporation around 20% showed mechanical resistance of 28 MPa, which is confirmed by the analysis of variance. Such results corroborate with research that confirms the feasibility of including these residues in cementitious matrices, adding value to the material.
