Effects of Alkaline Activator Solution on Concrete Mixed with Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag

Abstract

With an advancement in technology and research, various studies have been carried out on traditional concrete mixes and proposes modifications in order to obtain better quality concrete having both mechanical and durability requirements. In this work, both mechanical properties and durability indices of supplementary cementitious material are considered. Agricultural and Industrial wastes like Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) are utilized as supplementary cementitious materials. The main objective of the present study is to determine the effect of supplementary cementitious materials, its mechanical properties and durability indices upon alkali activator solution. To develop concrete containing sugarcane bagasse ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag using alkaline activator solution. This study is to determine the optimal replacement of OPC with SCM and compressive strength of different mix ratio concrete.
