Enhancing compressive strength and durability of self-compacting concrete modified with controlled-burnt sugarcane bagasse ash-blended cements
In sugar industries, the growing amount of sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA), a byproduct released after burning bagasse for producing electricity, is currently causing environmental pollution. The residual ash displays a pozzolanic potential; and hence, it has potential as a cement addictive. This study focuses on enhancing suitability of SBA through incorporating ground blast furnace slag (BFS) in manufacturing self-compacting concretes (SCCs). For this purpose, SBA was processed by burning at 700 °C for 1 h, before being ground to the cement fineness of 4010 cm2/g. SCC mixtures were prepared by changing the proportions of SBA and BFS (i.e., 10%, 20%, and 30%) in blended systems; and their performance was investigated. Test results showed that the presence of amorphous silica was detected for the processed SBA, revealing that the strength activity index was above 80%. The compressive strength of SCC containing SBA (without BFS) could reach 98%–127% of that of the control; combination of SBA and 30% BFS gets a similar strength to the control after 28 d. Regarding durability, the 10%SBA + 30%BFS mix exhibited the lowest risk of corrosion. Moreover, the joint use of SBA and BFS enhanced significantly the SCC’s sulfate resistance. Finally, a hyperbolic formula for interpolating the compressive strength of the SBA-based SCC was proposed and validated with error range estimated within ±10%.
