Experimental Study on Partial Replacement of Cement by Sugaracne Bagasse Ash

Abstract

The global cement industry contributes about 9% of greenhouse gas emission to the earth's atmosphere and industrial wastes are being produced by 420 million tonnes per annum by chemical process in India. In order to reduce cement manufacturing and disposal problem of paper waste, there is a need to develop alternative binders in construction field. Utilization of industrial waste products as Supplementary Cementitious Material(SCM) in concrete is very important aspect in view of economical, environmental and technical reasons. This work examines by using paper waste (hypo sludge) as partial replacement of cement & it is most essential to develop profitable building materials from hypo sludge. It is directed towards developing low cost concrete and light weight concrete from paper industry waste. The use of hypo sludge in concrete formulations as SCM was tested as an alternative traditional concrete. These tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties like compressive strength and spilt tensile strength up to 7 days and 28 days. In this work,M30 grade concrete was developed by replacing cement via 10%,15%,20%,25% and 30% of hypo sludge. The strength on concrete made with hypo sludge are compared with normal concrete.
