Abstract
Cement is an extensively utilized material in the construction sector. Material manufacturing demands the consumption of some energy. Since the energy used to manufacture cement emits CO2 and other environmental concerns, alternative solutions are required to preserve energy and resources. Agro waste and industrial waste are developing as viable alternatives to cement. Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) is made by burning Sugarcane Bagasse (SB). It is a natural agricultural waste with good pozzolanic qualities. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Cement (GGBS) is a slag waste residue and an excellent binder material. The particles and their compositions were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy. M30 concrete mix has been used. For the cement, the GGBS and SCBA have been replaced by 20%, 30%, 40%, and 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, respectively. After 7, 14, 28, and 56 days, the results of the compression and split tensile tests were used to find the specimen strength. It has been observed that mixing 5% SCBA and 20% GGBS with cement gives the best performance, but the addition has other effects on the property that goes beyond this. The results suggest that SCBA and GGBS are pozzolanic materials that can significantly improve their strength and be a possible cement alternative, reducing carbon emissions.
