Behaviour of SCC designed using Sugarcane Baggase Ash and Marble Powder under Cyclic loading

Abstract

In this study, the effects of the two additives, marble powder (MP) and sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA), on the properties of freshly-poured and fully-cured self-compacting concrete are investigated. One of the major conclusions from more research is that, when used at the recommended dosage, marble powder works best with soybean husk ash. It shows good workability and strength. The best mineral admixtures to use and their recommended dose range will be determined using the findings of this investigation. Sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA), which contains silica, should be a great alternative to cement. The binder setting time is extended when SBA and OPC are mixed. Direct addition of sugarcane bagasse ash affects the workability of the new concrete mix and shows great impact on unit weight. A small amount of marble powder added to fresh concrete improves its workability and boosts the mix's unit weight, compaction, and strength. Combinations of marble powder and Sugarcane bagasse ash increase the compressive strength of concrete more than using just Sugarcane bagasse ash alone. The maximal compressive strength on varies dosages of marble powder (MP) and sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA) was 10% and 15%, respectively, after 7 days and 28 days of curing. At optimal dosage, split tensile strength was significantly higher than that of conventional self-compacting concrete. After seven and 28 days of cure, it grows by 1.2% and 2.4%, respectively. L-box, V-box, and slump testing on novel SCC has been performed in this experimental research to show the rheology of concrete mixes of various grades under monotonic loading, cyclic loading, stability and fatigue loading.. The properties of hardened concrete are studied using several grades at various optimum dosages. The results of the cyclic load clearly demonstrate the high plastic strain range, which promotes toughness and decreases brittleness
