CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
5.1 CONCLUSION
The effects of sugar cane bagasse ash as supplementary cementations material in production of concrete was studied and after the research work was carried out, the following conclusions
1. 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 which is due to the higher water demand of bagasse ash.
3. The investigation of this research has revealed that replacement of ordinary Portland cement by bagasse ash attains maximum strenght at of 20%.
5.2 RECOMMENDATION
1. Sugarcane bagasse ash as shown in this research work can be used as a cement replacing material which will in turn give economical, technical and environmental benefits .
2. Future Studies could be made using controlled burning of the bagasse at different temperature and holding time.

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 ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER ONEINTRODUCTION1.1 Preamble Concrete is the most commonly used construction material in the world. It is basically composed of two components: paste and aggregates. The paste which acts as binder contains cement, water and occasionally admixtures; the aggregate contains sand and gravel or crushed stone (Naik and Moriconi, 2003). The aggregate are relatively inert filler materials which occupy 70% to 80% of concrete and can therefore be expected to have influence on its prope ... 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---

It can be determined by Blair air method, Wagner turbid meter and dry sieve method. Fineness of the bagasse as ... Continue reading---
