INTRODUCTION
It is the cellular and fibrous waste product after the extraction of the sugar juice from sugarcane.
Bagasse ash is a residue obtained from the burning of bagasse in sugar producing factories.
The use of SCBA in concrete reduces the heat of hydration and increases the life of structure.
The effective utilization of these waste products is a challenging task for researcher through
economical and environment friendly way .
Moreover, usage of bagasse ash in concrete helps in reduction of dead weight thereby producing light
weight structures .
Currently, there is an increasing use of industrial waste, including bagasse ash , fly ash, silica fume,
and ground granulated blast furnace slag to produce highly sustainable concretes.
SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION
To determine the concrete mix design for M20 grade of concrete.
To determine the casting of concrete cubes of M20 grade of concrete with different percentages of
SUGARCANE BAGASSE ASH (0%,5%,10%,15%, 20% & 25%).
To determine the cubes are subjected to normal & curing .
To determine the testing of specimens at various ages.
To determine the plotting graphs and comparing the compressive strengths of sugarcane bagasse
ash blended concrete cubes in normal and curing.
ADVANTAGES
To improve the quality and reduce the cost of construction materials .
Has high silica content : 87% (Cement’s silica content : 22% ).
Low specific gravity : 1.80 (Cement’s silica content 3.15 )
Valuable pozzolanic material and its cost is similar to fly ash .
Reduces negative environment effect and landfill volume .
Bagasse ash is very light material .
Bagasse ash can be used as a farm fertilizer .
LITERATURE REVIEW
Mrs.U.R. Kawade (2018) et al observed that cement can be successfully replaced with SCBA up to an extent of
15%.
R. Srinivasan , and K Sathiya (2010) , “Experimental study on Bagasse Ash in Concrete”, International Journal of
Service Learning in Engineering .
Abdulkadir , et al (2014) concluded that 10% replacement of SCBA has the highest PAI and also based on the
compressive strength results 10% and 20% replacement of SCBA with compressive strengths of 22.3N/mm2 and
20.1 N/mm2 are recommended for concrete.
Kawade et al (2013) characterized SCBA and partially replacement with bagasse and observed that the strength of
concrete increased up to 15% SCBA replacement.

OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT
Find the percentage of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash replaced to cement that makes the strength of concrete
maximum.
Investigate the strength of concrete by using Sugarcane Bagasse Ash as partial replacement of cement.
Determine the suitability of Sugarcane Ash as partial replacement of cement in concrete.
To determine the effectiveness of sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) as a cement replacement material in
concrete.
METHODOLOGY
MATERIAL USED:-
Sugarcane Bagasse Ash:-
The sugarcane bagasse consists of approximately 50% of cellulose , 25% of hemicelluloses and 25% of lignin. Each
ton of sugarcane generates approximately 26% of bagasse (at a moisture content of 50% ) and 0.62% of residual ash.
The residue after combustion presents a chemical composition dominates by silicon dioxide (Si02). In spite of being a
material of hard degradation and that presents few nutrients , the ash is used on the farms as a fertilizer in the
sugarcane harvests . In this sugarcane bagasse ash was collected.
Coarse Aggregate:-
These are materials passing through 20mm and retained on 16mm , these are generally used in preparation of concrete
, as it is a parametric material. Coarse aggregate are used in concrete as they are the reason for strength properties and
reduce the shrinkage in concrete. The specific gravity of Coarse aggregates is 2.8
Fine Aggregate:-
These are materials with the size less than 2.36mm , these are generally used in preparation of concrete, as it is a
parametric material. Fine aggregates are used in concrete as they are the reason for strength properties and reduce the
shrinkage in concrete. The specific gravity of Fine aggregates is 2.62
Cement :-
It is a material which is used for providing the binding property between the materials of the concrete. It also
increases the strength. The specific gravity of cement is 2.79
Water:-
In this experimental investigation portable water which is free from organic substances is used for mixing and
curing.

Future work
From this experimental study it is clear indicated that using sugar cane bagasse ash in concrete
increase strength .
Following parameters will be study in future work:
To find out optimum amount of sugar cane bagasse ash that can be used in concrete for
partially replacement of cement with (20% & 25% for 7 , 14 & 28 days) without significant
loss of strength .
To check the various properties of concrete with variation of content of sugar cane bagasse
ash.
