A STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF BAGASSE ASH TERNARY CONCRETE ON DRYING SHRINKAGE OF CONCRETE

Bagasse Ash (BA) is a byproduct of Sugarcane Agiculture industry. Utilization of Bagasse ash will help in creating sustainable and pollution free environment. This paper reports an experimental investigation on the influence of BA and Silica fume on the drying shrinkage property of ternary blended concrete made with replacement of cement with BA in various proportions and 10% Silica fume. Locally available Agro waste ash (BA) was used to replace cement in proportions 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by weight of cement respectively in concrete. From the experimental results it is observed that replacement of Cement in concrete with BA and Silica fume has shown decreased values of drying shrinkage of Ternary Bagasse Ash Silica Fume (TBASF) concrete.
