A REVIEW PAPER ON REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT WITH BAGASSE ASH

Abstract

Demand and consumption of cement is increasing day by day which has led researchers and scientists to search for locally available alternate binders that can replace cement partially and are ecofriendly and contribute towards waste management. In this direction the industrial & agricultural waste play vital role. The agricultural waste product like Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash (SBCA) is used as alternate binding material in the present study. This will result in saving in cement production equivalent to the alternative binding material used in concrete. The bagasse ash used for the research work is obtained from Vighnahar Sugar Factory (Pune) which is grinded and sieved through sieve of size 150 micron and passing out fraction is used in concrete as a partial replacement of cement in the ratio of 2% 4%, 6%, 8% & 10%by weight of the cement. Ordinary Portland Cement 53 grade cement is used in the study. The effect of replacement of cement by bagasse ash on properties like workability for fresh concrete are tested and for hardened concrete compressive strength at the age of 7 days and 28 days are determined.
