On the basis of experimental investigation carried out, the following conclusions can be drawn.
i) The fraction of fine aggregates i.e. 10% to 20% can be effectively replaced with a bagasse ash (untreated) without a
considerable loss of workability and strength properties.
ii) The compressive strength results represent that, the strength of the mixes with 10% and 20% bagasse ash increases at later days (28 days) as compared to7 days that may be due to pozzolanic properties of bagasse ash.
iii) The Sorptivity test result shows that the sorptivity coefficient increases with increase in percentage of bagasse ash which indicate more permeable concrete that is due to porous nature of SCBA and the impurities in it.
iv) In its purest form the bagasse ash can prove to be a potential ingredient of concrete since it can be an effective
replacement to cement and fine aggregate.
