Abstract :

Utilization of industrial waste and agro waste by industrial process has been focus on waste reduction.One of the agro waste sugarcane baggase ash which is fious waste product obtained from sugar mills as by product.Similarly fly ash resulting from the combustion of coal at electricity generating power station is highly processed and tested, through this a pozzolanic material is obtained known as Pozzocrete.In this experimental study SBA is used as partial replacement of fine aggregate in the ratio of 10% at which the optimum strength of concrete is obtained and then with such replacement, cement is replaced with Pozzocrete (P60) at ratio of 10%, 20% and 30%. The specimens of 150*150*150* mm were casted and tested at 7, 14 and 28 days and compare with traditional concrete in terms of strength and cost.Through experimental result we conclude that compressive strength of concrete increase with increase in partial replacement of pozzocrete.
