Sugarcane bagasse ash is a byproduct from cogeneration boilers of sugar industriesrnfound after the extraction of all economical sugar from sugar cane. The disposal of thisrnagricultural waste causes environmental problems around the sugar industries. Cementrnindustry also creates environmental problem by emission of carbon dioxide duringrnmanufacturing of cement and consumes lot of raw materials. Therefore, this researchrndeals sugarcane bagasse ash as partial replacement of cement in concrete production.rnFirst the sugarcane bagasse ash samples were collected from Wonji sugar factory.rnSugarcane bagasse ash was sieved with 250Âµm sieve size. M25 grade strength ofrnconcrete were deign with five different proportions of concrete mixes. Sugarcane bagassernash ranging from 5% to 20% by weight of cement including the control mix was preparedrnwith a water cement ratio of 0.45. For each substitution ratio, 3 sets (a total of 12)rnconcrete specimens were prepared for compressive strength test conducted at the age ofrn7, 14, 21 and 28 days. For this experimental work a total of 60 cubic concrete specimensrnfor compressive strength test and 15 cylindrical concrete specimens for water absorptionrntest were casted. Sugar cane bagasse ash has shown low density and higher surface arearnas compared to cement. The chemical composition of bagasse ash, combined value ofrnSiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3, investigated in this study was 87.68 which is higher than thernstandard, value 70%, and qualifies to be a Class N Pozzolan. The results of therncompressive strength of concrete work have shown that up to 5% replacement of thernordinary Portland cement by bagasse ash is possible. In addition, higher compressivernstrength at all test ages, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days, were observed. The 21and 28 dayrncompressive strength value of concrete with 5% sugarcane bagasse ash replacement wasrnshowing a strength enhancement of about 8% and 6%, respectively. The Waterrnabsorption of concrete increases with increasing the sugarcane bagasse ash content ofrnconcrete with the exception of water absorption for the concrete with 5% sugarcanernbagasse ash. 5% partial replacement of cement by sugarcane bagasse ash in concreternproduction results in a similar concrete properties and higher replacement could also bernused with a slight reduction in the performance of the concrete.
