SCBA CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS FOR MODERN CONSTRUCTION

The construction of modern structures calls for materials with increasingly improved properties like strength, stiffness, toughness, ductility and finally durability. It is essential that when concrete is use for modern structures, then it should retain its original form, quality, and serviceability throughout its lifespan without any deterioration that is, it should have long durability. Durability of concrete depends on strength of concrete also. Strength is defined as ability of concrete to carry load. Now-a-days concrete with varieties of strength are available as per requirements. Cost of concrete too varies with strength. Even though strength is a key factor, only limited studies are carried out to investigate the addition of Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash (SCBA). In this study, therefore we firstly an attempt has been to study the effect of addition of Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash and which gives the maximum strength on test result on compression strength of low grade concrete (M25). The present paper main objectives are the present study aims at mix design of M25 grade of concrete and to find required constitutes of it. The study the effect of replacement of cement in concrete by pozzolanic material that is Bagasse Ash. To study the effect of addition of Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) on compressive strength of low-grade concrete (M25). To study the effect of addition of Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) on tensile strength of low-grade concrete (M25). To find out the optimum percentage of Bagasse Ash that can effectively replaces the cement by weight without any adverse effect on properties of hardened concrete.
