1.3 Aim and Objectives
The aim of this research work is to investigate the suitability and effectiveness of bagasse ash as a partial replacement of cement in concrete.
The objectives of this research work includes:
i. Characterization of Bagasse Ash and to see if it exhibits pozzolanic property
ii. Determination of influence of varying bagasse ash on properties of concrete both in fresh and hardened states
1.4 Justification of the Study
The advancement in technology and desire for safer environment has stimulated the sense of economic reuse and proper management of material earlier discarded as waste. But there are yet no adequate research about the usefulness of sugarcane residue in the country, very little value is being attached to Bagasse. The residue has been found to be used for primary fuel source and also for paper production. However, incinerating it to ash and adopting it as a good pozolan adds to its economic value. This waste utilization will not only aid the economy but will also bring about foreign exchange earnings and environmental pollution control.
1.5 Scope of study
The research focuses on the determination of the suitability of Bagasse ash as a replacement for cement in concrete and construction works. The optimum percentage of bagasse ash required to provide the desired strength when cement was replaced by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%,and 20% sugarcane bagasse ash. Thereafter, the following tests compressive strength, Sieve analysis, density, consistency and setting time were carried out in order to evaluating the influence of bagasse ash on concrete.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTSugarcane Bagasse is the fibrous residue leftover when sugarcane is squeezed for its juice. Bagasse ash is obtained by subjecting Bagasse to calcinations using furnace. This work is aimed tat using Bagasse Ash as a replacement in the production of concrete.The bagasse was collected from dumped in a market in Kano and thereafter sun-drie to eliminate any trace of moisture. It was then taken to the blast furnace for calcinations(controlled burning) at a temperature of 1250OC for 25minutes. ... Continue reading---

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 6 ]The most common classification of Portland cement is that of ASTM. It classifies Portland cement mainly into five groups (non-air entrained) differing only on the relative amount of the compounds and the degree of fineness. • ASTM type I cement is a general purpose Portland cement used when there is no special property required by the concrete. • ASTM type II cement is Moderate Portland cement. It is also a general-purpose cement to be used when moderate sulphate resistan ... Continue reading---

The chemical composition test reveals that the bagasse ash can be classified as pozzolana.2. The workability of concrete containing bagasse ash decreases slightly as the bagasse ash content increases w ... Continue reading---
