Improvement in Properties of Concrete by Using Waste Materials

Waste materials are used as advantageous replacement material in the concrete industry. Sugarcane bagasse ash (SGBA) are used as pozzolanic materials for the development of blended cement with reference to strength and durability properties in blended concrete and also to identify the optimal levels of replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with SGBA and replacement of sand by stone dust in blended concrete. Blended concrete was prepared by replacing OPC with SGBA (10% by weight of cement) and replacing river sand by stone dust (10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% by weight of sand) in dry condition.
