Bagasse ash and rice husk ash as cement replacement in self-compacting concrete
Abstract
In studies conducted to determine the workability of concrete, the bagasse ash and rice husk ash were added as a partial replacement for cement. Trial mixes with the varying water cement ratio, replacement percentage, quantity of super plasticizer and viscosity modifying agent, were prepared and tested. The results were used as the basis for defining three optimum cement replacement mix proportions, which comply with the self-compacting concrete requirements for several structural applications.
