Abstract

Large amount of sugar is produced by the India after the Brazil. Extraction of fibrous residue of sugar cane after the crushing is known as bagasse. The residue remaining after the burning of the bagasse in sugarcane factories is known as bagasse ash. Earlier this bagasse ash is dumped in the dumping yards as this is not used anywhere. As a result of this it used to create a lot of ecological imbalance in the environment. A lot of research has been performed on the use of bagasse ash as an alternative material in the concrete.In this study bagasse ash is used as partial replacement of cement in percentages of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% and various strength properties are determined. In this investigation cubes, cylinders, shears, impact disc, slabs, beams of M25 grade of concrete are cast .All this specimens are tested after the 28 days of curing. The results obtained from this investigation are analysed and observed to be interesting.
