  • Abstract:
  • Concrete is the most commonly used material in building construction. The production process of concrete includes aggregates, cement and water other than these any ingredients used are known as concrete admixtures. Retarding admixture is mostly used in concrete because it can retard (or) slows the hydration process of concrete and delays the setting time during hot weather concreting. This offers extra time for transportation and concrete placement. However, the admixtures prices are high in market we are replacing with an waste material (sugarcane bagasse), sugarcane bagasse disposal has been major concern in world as it is produced in large amount due to its usage in food products, our project aims to solve the problem of proper disposal of sugarcane bagasse by blending it and using it as an admixture with concrete there by studying its improvement of setting time and compressive strength of concrete.
