    Effect of fly ash and bagasse ash on the mechanical properties of light weight concrete; Wpływ popiołu lotnego i popiołu z wytłoczyn z trzciny cukrowej na właściwości mechaniczne betonu lekkiego

    Light weight concrete is an important part in the concrete technology. The use of mineral additives in light-weight concrete, to replace fine aggregate with fly ash and bagasse ash, helps to reduce the cement content. The present investigation aims to meet the performance of light weight concrete, by adding fly ash and bagasse ash, as fine aggregate replacement additives. The strength properties such as cube compressive strength, cylinder compressive strength and split tensile strength were investigated after different ages, to find the optimum addition of mineral additives such as fly ash and bagasse ash, in concrete. The strengths were compared and the optimal replacement level of cement with fly ash and bagasse ash was found. The cylinder compressive strength and split tensile strength of light weight concrete were measured, at the same replacement levels of mineral additives, at the age of 28 days curing. The mathematical equations were proposed to achieve cube compressive and tensile strengths, cylinder compressive and tensile strength and cube compressive and cylinder compressive strengths, concerning typical strength. © 2022, Foundation Cement, Lime, Concrete.

    Impact of fly ash and bagasse ash on durability performance of lightweight concrete with the experimental study; Wpływ popiołu lotnego i popiołu z wytłoczyn z trzciny cukrowej na trwałość betonu lekkiego w badaniach doświadczalnych
    (Foundation Cement, Lime, Concrete, 2022) Gunasekaran, M.; Palanisamy, T.
    Lightweight concrete [LWC] is rapidly reaching its full potential for a broad range of applications in the construction of concrete structures. It is tailor-made material for specific applications ha-ving beneficial properties. Therefore, the paper is devoted to the experimental analysis and study of fly ash and bagasse ash on the durability properties of lightweight concrete. Durability can be defined as the ability of the material to withstand the effects of its environment which are influencing the deterioration of concrete. The saturated water absorption and sorptivity was studied through experimental investigations, by varying the percentage of fly ash and bagasse ash content. Both fly ash and bagasse ash shows that the increase in the percentage of replacement leads to the more absorption of lightweight concrete. The results are investigated and presented on the studies conducted as follows, showing that the increases in the percentage of replacement, strength also increased. © 2022, Foundation Cement, Lime, Concrete.
