Abstract :
Concrete is the most extensively used construction material which consumes natural materials leading to environmental concerns in terms of utilization of raw materials and also emissions of CO2. The increase in cost of cement and scarcity in river sand also adds to the need of sustainable material which is also cost effective. Industrial wastes, such as blast furnace slag, rice husk ash, fly ash and silica fume are being used as supplementary cement replacement materials. Currently, it has been tried to utilize the large amount of bagasse ash, a fibrous residue obtained from sugar cane during extraction of sugar juice at sugarcane mills in concrete. Sugarcane bagasse ash is a waste product of the sugar refining industry which is already causing serious environmental pollution, which calls for urgent ways of handling the waste. Coir is strong in tension, hence it can be used a fiber reinforced material. Hardened concrete tests like compressive strength and split-tensile strength were undertaken showing a remarkable increase in strength of concrete as a percentage of bagasse ash replacement and addition of coir fiber as fibre reinforcement. This report presents the results of an experimental investigation on the mechanical properties of concrete incorporating sugarcane bagasse as hand coir fiber. This study is aimed to evaluate the strength of concrete by performing tests like compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete
