THE EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON M25 GRADE OF CONCRETE WITH PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT BY RICE HUSK ASH &SUGARCANE ASH

  • Unique Paper ID: 178681
  • PageNo: 6278-6281
  • Abstract:
  • This thesis explores the enhancement of concrete's compressive strength through the partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement (43 grade) with eco-friendly alternatives—Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SBA) and Rice Husk Ash (RHA). By incorporating varying proportions of SBA and RHA (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%), a comprehensive study was conducted to evaluate their impact on M30 grade concrete. A total of 90 concrete cubes (150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm) were cast and tested at intervals of 7, 14, and 28 days, with three samples evaluated for each duration across all mix variations. The concrete mix designs were tailored to achieve the target strength, and the results demonstrated a notable improvement in compressive strength with certain combinations of SBA and RHA. The performance trends were graphically represented to highlight the relationship between ash content and compressive strength. The findings confirm that both SBA and RHA are promising supplementary materials that not only enhance strength but also improve the fresh and hardened properties of concrete, paving the way for more sustainable construction practices.
