High Strength Concrete Mixed Biomass Ash using Microwave Curing

Abstract

This research is a study of high strength concrete by using a mixture of ashes from biomass materials, cured with a microwave to build up heat in side and mass transfer from the concrete. The objective of this study to explained physical properties and mechanical properties, particularly compression strength of concrete. To compare the physical properties and mechanical properties of concrete with a compressive high strength of natural curing time at 28 days. The study of physical properties and compressive strength of high strength concrete was found that. Curing of concrete using microwave at high power is required to take time to curing than the low watt microwave. The high power microwave power, the concrete compressive strength is higher than the microwave at low power. The rate of mass transfer from the inside to outside of the concrete is appropriate.
