SUGARCANE BAGGESSE MATERIAL AS CEMENT REPLACEMENT

IN CONCRETE

Abstract
There are lots of admixtures that are observed and tested to have provided

higher compressive strength to many construction materials and sugarcane bagasse

ash is one of these admixtures. Sugarcane bagasse ash is found after

burning sugarcane bagasse which itself established after the extraction of its

juices. The purposed and aimed of this study is to differentiate the compressive

strength of a cylindrical concrete with and without the presence of the sugarcane

bagasse ash. This study will help the future researchers and technical persons such

as engineers in deploying their knowledge and understanding about the sugarcane

bagasse ash as an admixture.

The concrete samples, in part, are provided with 25 grams, 50 grams, and

100 grams of admixtures respectively. In addition the compressive strength of the

concrete was determined after having a test. It was observed that the compressive

strength of the concrete when mixed with sugarcane bagasse ash relied on how

much ash was added to it and how it was built. The test result indicated that

incorporating 100 grams of ash helped the concrete raised its strength while 25 and

50 grams of bagasse ash does not provide higher compressive strength when

compared to the controlled concrete. It was concluded that there is a significant

difference between controlled and experimental samples.
