ABSTRACT
This project reports the comparison of bagasse ash
and fly ash-bagasse ash based on geopolymer concrete. In
which cement is fully replaced by pozzolanic material that is
rich in silicon and aluminium like fly ash and bagasse ash
referred to as “Geopolymer concrete” which is a
contemporary material. Geopolymer concrete was actually
manufactured by reusing and recycling of industrial solid
wastes and by products. Fly Ash, a by-product of coal
obtained from the thermal power plant is plenty available
worldwide. Fly ash is used as ingredients in concrete which
enhance the properties of concrete and utilization of fly ash is
helpful for consumption. Bagasse ash is a final waste product
of sugar obtained from the sugar mills. The base material,
viz. fly ash and Bagasse ash, is activated by alkaline solution
that is sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate to produce a
binder which is rich in silica and aluminium. Sample 1 is
cement. It is replaced by 100% fly ash geopolymer concrete
and trial 2 is 10%, 30% & 50% replaced by Bagasse ash in
Geopolymer concrete . The project presents the strength and
durability of Bagasse ash based Geopolymer concrete and fly
ash and Bagasse ash based Geopolymer concrete.
Keywords-- Baggase, Ash, Fly Ash, Geo Polymer,
Concrete
I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Concrete is one of the most commonly used
construction material in the world it is basically composed
of three components cement, water and aggregates.
Cement plays a great role in the production of concrete
still now GGBFS, Pulverized fly ash and silica fume have
been effectively used but currently; the main object is to
introduce bagasse ash
1.2 Objectives of the Study
1. Preparation of geo polymer concrete (GPC) by
using low calcium fly ash with 100% replacement
of cement and partial replacement of bagasse ash.
2. To examine the influence of CS, STS, FS of GPC
by varying the ratio of bagasse ash.
3. To determine the influence of Compressive
strength, Split tensile strength and flexure
strength of geo polymer concrete by keeping the
fixed morality of sodium hydroxide solution for
different mix proportions.
4. To compare the experimental results with
Conventional concrete.
5. To study the short term durability aspects such as
Acid Attack ,Magnesium Sulphate Attack & Salt
Water Attack.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
This chapter presents an analysis of recent
research on Geo polymers and Geo polymer concrete, with
an importance on low calcium bagasse ash-based geo
polymer paste and concrete. A review of current
approaches and models available to predict shear strength
and bond strength of Portland cement concrete members is
also included. These approaches will be used to predict the
shear and bond strength of geo polymer concrete beams in
this study. The word geo polymer was first presented by
Davidovits in 1979 to name the tri dimensional alumino-
silicates material, which is a binder produced from the
reaction of a source material or feedstock rich in silicon
(Si) and aluminium (Al) with a concentrated alkaline
solution.
III. PROBLEM DEFINITION
To study the strength & Durability properties of
geo polymer concrete addition with fly ash and
Bagasse in concrete with partially replacement i.e.
(10%, 30% and 50% ).
IV. METHODOLOGY
1. M50 grade has been chosen for obtaining slump
value.
2. Slump cone test has been done to obtain slump
value.
3. Concrete is made with partial auxiliary of fly ash
& Bagasse ash respectively in four Varying
ratios.
4. Compressive strength is determined using 150mm
cubes. The samplings are verified for 7, 14 & 28
days in CTM.

5. Split Tensile Strength is carried out using 150mm
(diameter) X300mm (height) cylinders. The
samples are tested for 7, 14 and 28 days ages in
CTM.
6. Plain member of 100mm x 100mm x 500mm is
made to study the Flexural Strength. The beams
are tested in two point loading UTM.
7. Short term durability test such as Salt water
attack, acid attack, magnesium sulphate attack test
are carried out in 150mm cubes, 150mm
(diameter) x 300mm (height) Cylinders for 28
days.
