ABSTRACT:
Objective: The primary objectives of this study are Partial replacement of bagasse ash with
cement. Calculation for 7 & 28 days strength. Methods: Concrete with the cement emits CO2 which
impacts on environment. Bagasse is the by-product
by product of sugar industries and it is introducing into
concrete to find the parameters of strength and waste utilisation. Findings: Environmental impact
due to Bagasse increases as dumping and land filling results to molasses and other damaging
factors to overcome these problems Bagasse ash introduced into the concrete and the experimental
is carried out with replacement of Bagasse ash of (0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16%, and 20%) is carried
concrete Applications: Accordingly the codal provisions followed are IS:
out for high strength concrete.
10262, IS 456-200000 respectively this is the new work for the innovation for future which has to be
carried out by upcoming generations.

1. INTRODUCTION
Cement can be considered as the most generally utilized material as a part of the development business. In
the present day development hone, alongside the quality equivalent significance is given to the solidness of
cement.
ent. The Indian Standard Code of practice for plain and strengthened cement prescribes the base bond
substance to fulfill the quality and solidness prerequisites. Consequently, the use of concrete is expanded.
Be that as it may, the concrete generation expends

stuff composed of aggregate secured beside fluid cement that hardens over time. Most use of the term
"concrete" refers to Portland cement concreter to concretes made with alternative cement. Sugar-cane
bagasse is a fibrous waste-product of the sugar oil industry, along with plant product vapour. This waste
product (Sugar-cane bagasse ash) is already inflicting serious environmental pollution, which calls for
pressing ways in which of handling the waste. For each ten tonnes of sugarcane crushed, a sugar factory
produces nearly three tonnes of wet pulp. Since bagasse is a by-product of the cane sugar business. In more
than ninety countries with a worldwide harvest of one.83 billion tons sugar cane pulp is made and we have
a tendency to can would like 60,000 to 70,000 acres to dump.

2. METHODOLOGY
2.1. Mix Design for concrete
The mix design was done from recommended IS:10262-1982. The concrete mix proportion was 1:1.4:2.89
by weight. Six mix proportions were done using different percentages of 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 SCBA.

2.2. Casting of Specimens

The cubic specimens of concrete size 150mmx150mmx150mm, the size of 500mmx100mmx100mm
beams and the size of 150mm diameter and 300mm height of cylinders were casted to carried out the
strength properties of compressive and flexural strength tests for a period of 7 and 28days.

2.3. Curing
The specimens were demoulded after 24hours of casting and placed in the water solidifying tank. The
specimens were cured in the curing tank for seven and 28days.

3. MATERIAL COLLECTION
3.1. Cement: Cement were used in the experimental work is Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) confirming
to IS: 1229-1987 having specific gravity of 3.15
3.2. Coarse Aggregate: Crushed granite stone of maximum nominal 20mm and 10mm size having
specific gravity of 2.86 and 2.82 was used as a coarse aggregate. It recommends to the specifications of IS
383: 1970 for graded aggregates.
3.3. Fine Aggregate: The fine aggregate used for making concrete is river sand and its specific gravity is
2.60
3.4. Water: Water is an important ingredient for concrete. portable water was used.

3.5. Sugar cane bagasse ash

The original ash had high moisture content, so to make it free from moisture, it was kept in a furnace at
700 degree Celsius for few hours and after drying the ash was ground in a local mill to reduce its particle
sizes until the particles were passing through 90m sieve. Bagasse ash collected from KCP sugar factory
located Vuyyuru in Krishna district. Specific gravity of ash is 1.83

3.6 Super plasticizer

Polycarboxylate ether confirming to IS: 9103 1993 with specific gravity of 1.108

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

In this present study observations are made for strength analysis for 7 days & 28 days for varies
percentages of 0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16% & 20% replacement of cement with bagasse ash. Different strength
tests like compression strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength were investigated.

Mix

4.1. Compression strength

The size of each specimen (cubes) is 150mmx150mmx150mm which are prepared for each mix. By the
table 2 states that the compression strength at 4% & 8% are 65.64 N/mm2 and 63.06 N/mm2 respectively
for 28 days remain percentage compression strength are reduced.

4.2. Flexural strength

The beams (specimens) of size 100mm 100mm 500 mm were used and are prepared for each mix. By
the table 3 states that the flexural strength at 4% is 5.29 N/mm2 respectively for 28 days and remaining
percentages are reduced.

4.3. Split tensile strength

Cylinders (specimens) of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 300 mm are prepared for each mix. By the above table
4 states that the split tensile strength at 4% are 3.03 N/mm2 respectively for 28 days remaining percentage
split tensile strength are reduced.

5. CONCLUSIONS
The tests of concrete were conducted for the trail mix grade with different percentages i.e. 0%, 4%, 8%,
12%, 16%, 20% at the selected age i.e.7 and 28 days. There was also significant improvement in Flexural
strength of the Concrete with rice husk ash content of 4% & 8% both at the age of 7 and 28 days.
The following investigation reveals that all tests like compression strength, flexural strength, split tensile
strength are high strength in 4% at 28 days for M50 grade of cement It is observed that with the inclusion
of pulp ash the workability of concrete decreases The results showed that, the concrete with 4% of SCBA
once twenty eight days of action had higher strength once compared to concrete with alternative replacement
percentages.

Mix

The results show that the reduction in compressive strength is least for 8% replacement once compared to
alternative replacement percentages. Hence 8 May 1945 is thought-about because the optimum proportion
for replacement.
The optimum moisture is obtained at the level of Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire of OPC replaced
by Sugarcane pulp Ash.
Using Sugarcane Bagasse Ash as replacement of OPC in concrete, the emission of greenhouse gases can be
reduced up to a larger extent.
OPC replacement by Sugarcane Bagasse Ash is environmental friendly due to utilization of waste It is
observed that with the inclusion of pulp ash the workability of concrete decreases
The results showed that, the concrete with 4% of SCBA once twenty eight days of action had higher strength
once compared to concrete with alternative replacement percentages.
