Valorization of specially designed concrete by using sugarcane bagasse ash and inducing the special benefits of waste tin fiber reinforced concrete

Abstract

This research work has been investigated the agriculture solid waste of sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) materials replacing Portland cement and produces the assured quality of concrete. The current research work for various mixes of experimental test results shows the higher compressive strength was 37.51MPa at 28-days, 38.10 MPa at 56-days, the best mix consisting of SCBA (wet sieving method) content up to 15% (by weight of binding materials) along with 1.5% of waste tin fibers and also an excellent improvement trend was noted in flexural rigidity of concrete to addition of tin fibers shows the higher bending stress for all mixes except reference as well as more than 15% of SCBA concrete at different curing days. However, this study focused on the indirect measurement of tensile strength in SCBA concrete obtained the higher split tensile strength was 3.75MPa at 28-days, 3.95MPa at 56-days. It is concluded based on the various test results for different curing days the optimum replacement level of SCBA up to 15% of Portland cement was fixed and achieve the target strength of M25 grade of Portland cement concrete at 28 days.
