Abstract
Agricultural wastes like sugarcane bagasse ash and rice husk ash can be reused as supplementary cement materials to produce
eco-friendly buildings as plants of grass family contain more silica, which enhances the pozzolanic reactivity of the plant
ashes. Researches so far were limited to evaluate the strength and few durability properties. This paper focuses on the reactiv-
ity among cement particles, a microstructural approach towards analyzing the material, and its performance. Compressive,
splitting tensile strength tests, durability tests like water absorption and RCPT have been performed for 5%, 10%, 15%, and
20% replacement of sugarcane bagasse ash in cement. An increase in strength, less absorption, and low permeability were
observed from 0 to 15% replacement. 15% replacement of SCBA in concrete cured for 56 days has shown maximum durable
compared to other samples that are cured for 28 and 56 days. The enhanced performance of PPC owes to thick lattice formed
due to compounds formed, which lead to the densification of concrete.

21 µm, whereas 90% of OPC could pass the only 35 µm.
These sugarcane bagasse ash particles were further tested
in Blaine’s air permeability test, whose specific surface area
is found to be 441 m2/kg, and that of cement is 300 m2/kg.
Physical properties of SCBA and OPC are evaluated and
tabulated in Table 2 to check the compatibility of SCBA
with cement and other aggregates. Less specific gravity,
fine particle size, and high specific surface area are desir-
able conditions for an excellent pozzolanic admixture [18],
which is in agreement with present results. In tests for fresh
properties of sugarcane bagasse ash concrete, it observed
that there is a delay in initial and final setting times of SCBA
pastes when compared to OPC cement pastes. Time taken to
form bonding between cement and water may be different
for cement, ash, and water. There is a variation in consist-
ency too for OPC and SCBA samples. Polycarboxylate based

is an increase in strength by 5.8%, 11.5%, and 19.54%
