Experimental Study of High Strength Concrete Prepared by Bagasse Ash, Debris, And Polypropylene Fiber

Abstract

Demolished structures are a hazard to the environment and recent advancements on concrete are contemplated to manage the unsolicited material by rehashing the debris.In this paper, an attempt is made to manage the debris by amalgamating it with bagasse ash and polypropylene fiber as it upsurges the tensile bearing strength of concrete and to regulate theshrinkage of M65 grade of concrete.Destructive test including compressive, split tensile and flexural strength test isperformed by casting sufficient quantity of cubes, cylinder and beams and trial mixes are experimented by replacing debris with fine aggregate at 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% to acquire optimal results, correspondingly bagasse ash is replaced at 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% with cement, and polypropylene fiber is added by cement weight at 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% and optimal results are examined.An experimental study is carried out on 252 samples (84 cubes, 84 cylinders, and 84 beams) and testing at 7 and 28 days revealed that there is a proliferation of  17% in compression strength, 22% in split tensile strength and 50% increment in flexural strength.
