Exploring Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash as an Additional Cementitious Material in Concrete: A Thorough Analysis

Ayushi Dehariya, Harsh Rathore

Abstract


This study delves into the exploration of utilizing sugar cane bagasse ash as an added cementitious component in concrete, providing a meticulous examination of its potential benefits and applications. Various studies investigating the properties and performance of SCBA in concrete mixtures were analyzed. SCBA was found to enhance the workability and strength of concrete, eliminating the need for superplasticizers in many cases. Optimal replacement levels ranged from 10% to 15% of cement, resulting in improved compressive and split tensile strengths. The incorporation of SCBA also reduced the cost of concrete production by up to 12%. Additionally, SCBA showed promising results in terms of its pozzolanic activity, with high SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 contents meeting ASTM C618 standards. Despite challenges such as high absorption values, SCBA exhibited potential as a viable alternative to traditional cementitious materials, contributing to sustainability efforts by reducing CO2 emissions. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term durability and environmental impacts of SCBA in concrete applications.
