Abstract
The preservation of natural resources, the reduction of environmental pollution, and the appropriate utilization of waste materials are the fundamental goals of sustainable development. These goals can be achieved in concrete construction by partially replacing cement and aggregates with agro waste like rice husk ash, sugarcane bagasse ash, and so on. and industrial waste like steel slag, fly ash, coal bottom ash, and copper slag, among others the idea that sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) can be used in place of cement to create high- performance concrete [1,2]. By replacing cement, sugarcane bagasse ash, fly ash, and glass are used as mineral intermixtures in Portland cement to increase the tensile, compressive, and flexural strengths of concrete. As we've seen, every type of construction makes use of Portland cement. As construction grows, so does the availability of Portland cement. As a result, we use natural materials to replace cement. It may also have positive effects on the environment, such as reducing waste emissions and energy consumption as well as emissions of greenhouse gases. These admixtures also help us cut down on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions [3,4]. Because of its high silica (SiO2) content, sugarcane bagasse powder (SCBA) can be utilized as a mineral admixture. We used sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, and 35% in this experimental study. This indicates that, in comparison to standard concrete, the SCBA possessed significantly higher flexural, compressive, and split tensile strengths. When compared to conventional cement, the results demonstrate that Sugarcane Bagasse improves the workability of concrete. The findings demonstrate that SBA can be substituted for 15 percent of conventional concrete [5,6].
