The Effect to Bending Strength Samples from Adding the Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash in Commercial Cement

Abstract

The purpose of this research Investigated the characteristics of bagasse ash and mechanical properties of the cement paste bagasse ashes. To study the physical properties, chemical compositions and particle sizes, respectively for ground and original bagasse ash, respectively. To test the mechanical properties of the cement paste with. compressive strength and bending strength. Controlling the amount of water to the powder material. (ash, cement and bagasse ash) the ratio (W/(C + SCBA) = 0.38 weight of ash could be calculate. The ration weight of substituted bagasse ash into cement weight at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 respectively. The results showed that the compressive strength of the replaced bagasse ash 10% was the best. Compared with other ingredients with bagasse ash is mixed. The compressive strength of the 674.14 ksc. and bending strength replaced with bagasse ash at 20% was the optimal condition. The bending strength was 62.37 ksc. compared with other ingredients with bagasse ash were mixed and a normal cement paste. Finally, we used the optimal condition from above experiments then adding fine rubber powder at 5 percent by weight, it found that the maximum bending strength of 8058.95  1315.94 ksc. similarly, adding latex rubber concentration at 10 percent by weight, it found that the maximum bending strength of 7563.10  998.13 ksc. To compare as the rubber powder has a better bending strength than latex rubber when they used the same ratio.
