Abstract

Natural sand is a vital material used for making of concrete and the requirement of sand in Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is more compared to normal concrete. Now a day’s different environmental issues have led to the scarcity of river sand. Due to scarcity of natural sands availability, it is needed to find alternate materials to replace natural sand. The sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SBA) is a by-product of burning of bagasse waste in the sugarcane factories. When it is disposed at the open land, it causes huge environmental problems The SBA as can be used partly as fine aggregate instead of Natural River sand. The use of SBA as fine aggregate in concrete will solve the environmental problems and preserve the natural river sand. In this report the basic material properties were investigated as per the standard codal provisions. The grade of concrete was chosen M30 and Mix design was done based on the EFNARC guidelines. The main focus of the study is to investigate the characteristic strength and durability properties on SCC by using SBA as partial replacement of fine aggregate by about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% on volume basis. Fly ash had been used as admixtures in SCC as per EFNARC guidelines. In this study, Glenium B233 polycarboxylate ether based super plasticizers are to be used to reduce water content to attain the high workability. The fresh properties of SCC, strength and durability properties are also to be examined. Finally the results are to be compared with SCC without partial replacement of fine aggregate and results are to be discussed.
