Flexural Behaviour of Sugarecane Bagasse Ash Modified Fibre Reinforced Concrete
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
Cement is the major component in concrete. The cement industry is creating environmental problem by emission of CO2 during manufacturing of cement. There are various environmental impacts of cement on our ecology. Today researchers are more focusing towards the environment issue globally. Aim of the study is to utilize the waste product produced by agricultural industry and enhancement of concrete strength by using steel fibre. Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) is a left-over industrial by-product which is used as a replacement of cement. SCBA has high content in silica. Using of SCBA in concrete is a remarkable possibility for economy and conservation of natural resources. Sugar cane bagasse ash generated in sugar mill creating environment issue as most of the part is used as a land fill. One of the important properties of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is its superior resistance to cracking and crack propagation. As a result of this ability to arrest cracks, fibres are able to hold the matrix together even after extensive cracking. To find the optimum volumetric percentage of steel fibre required to increase the tensile strength of concrete with laboratory experiments. The partial replacement of cement at the ratio of 10%, 20%, 30% of sugar cane bagasse ash and steel fibres of different volumetric percentages 0.5%, 1%, 2% respectively by absolute weight of concrete. Steel fibres with aspect ratio (l/d) of 50mm length and 1mm diameter crimpled were used in this study. The effect of partial replacement of cement with SCBA and addition of steel fibres in concrete obtained on flexural strength of the beams. The results shows percentage increase in 7, 14 and 28 days.
