“…Other researches were done by Quedou et al [38] who examined the effect of SCBA partial replacement of cement at 5, 10, 15, and 20% by weight of cement. The authors found that a 10% replacement level exhibited positive performance and can be considered a suitable cementation material in construction materials.…”

Modern concretes lay emphasis on high strength in order to reduce structural member sizes to reduce materials used; high early strength to promote fast construction; high durability to reduce maintenance costs; and the incorporation of industrial and agricultural wastes to reduce environmental degradation. The incorporation of industrial and agricultural wastes into concrete as cement replacement materials reduces the amount of cement used in the production of concrete and the CO2emissions arising from cement production. Sugarcane bagasse is a waste product from the extraction of juice from sugar cane. It is estimated that 1.7 million tons of bagasse are produced worldwide every year. Much of the bagasse is used as boiler fuel and to produce electricity, and the ash is dumped in earth fills, resulting in critical environmental pollution that requires immediate attention. Available literature shows that when burned under controlled conditions, a pozzolanic ash of high silica content can be obtained, which can be used in concrete production with several advantages. This study investigates the mechanical properties of concrete designed for high strength and incorporating processed sugarcane bagasse ash in amounts of 10–40% by weight of cement in a binary combination with silica fume. Concrete workability in the fresh state and compressive, flexural, and tensile strengths in the hardened state are investigated. Water absorption of hardened concrete is also investigated as an indicator of potential durability. The results show that the mix containing 10% SCBA has the highest mechanical strength, and increasing the SCBA percentage reduces water absorption. However, the workability of concrete in the fresh state reduces substantially with an increase in ash content. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-06-010 Full Text: PDF

“…Among supplementary cementitious materials, biomass-derived pozzolans are no exception. Thus, examples of increased susceptibility to carbonation due to the use of pozzolans of this nature, such as rice husk ash [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58], sugarcane bagasse ash [59] or palm oil fuel ash [60], are readily available in the literature. The increases in carbonation depth obtained for ichu ash blended mortars in this study are comparable in magnitude to those observed when using the aforementioned vegetable ashes in similar tests.…”

“…The maximum amount of bagasse is utilised for firewood and is obtained black due to carbon content. In the end, the ground-up bagasse deposits are heated to 8008C in a muffle furnace for three hours; then, the deposits are melted and chilled (Quedou et al, 2021). During the cooling process, the samples are thoroughly crushed and sieved to a size of 45 m, and the same has been used in the current study for concrete mix.…”

PurposeUtilising industrial waste, such as fly ash (FA) and bagasse ash (BA), reduces waste management and increases mechanical strength. Concrete is modified with FA and BA in the cool bonded method of concrete preparation.Design/methodology/approachThe study used to partially replace cement with BA powder at proportions 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% and coarse aggregates are replaced with FA aggregates made with FA and cement using a cold-bonded technique at proportions 0–25%. FA aggregates were made at 10:90, 15:85, 20:80 and 25:75 proportions of cement and FA. The FA aggregates at the best proportion 15:85 was selected as a coarse aggregate by conducting tests like specific gravity, crushing value, impact value and water absorption tests.FindingsThe addition of 30% content decreases porosity by 21% and increases strength significantly at 28 days. Microstructure evolution is carried out to identify material behaviour.Originality/valueMechanical and durable properties such as flexural strength, tensile strength, water absorption test, acid and alkaline tests are conducted on M50 grade concrete after 3–28 days of curing.
