Prashant Guleria and Prince Sharma
Himachal Pradesh. India
ABSTRACT
This research paper presents the experimental study to find out strength parameter
of sugarcane with partial replacement of cement and marble waste as partially and
fully replacement with coarse aggregates. Addition of sugarcane is 5%,10%,15%,20%
in cement and coarse aggregates contain 50% & 100% of marble. To find out the
properties for specimens of compressive strength test, rebound hammer test and
ultrasonic pulse velocity test (UPV), flexural strength test and water absorption tests
are performed. Results indicate that the maximum strength and durability getting
observed when the sugarcane replacement was 5% with 100% replacement of marble.
Key words: Stone Dust, Steel fibre, Destructive test , Non-Destructive test.

1. INTRODUCTION
Sugarcane is the common crop in INDIA that releases a large amount of waste every year.
The sugarcane bagasse is dry pulpy fibrous residue that which left after burning of sugarcane
waste. Bagasse is generated around 250g to 280g by burning of one kg sugarcane waste. The
production of sugarcane in INDIA approximately 300 million tons every year. The sugar mill
factories burn sugarcane waste on large amount every day as a fuel in boilers for heat which
releases a large amount of sugarcane bagasse. This waste is to acquire more land and totally
useless. So that sugarcane waste can be used in the concrete mixture for utilization of waste
material. And the sugarcane ash is very cheap and easily available.
The marble industry grown very fast in past decades and uses of marble is increasing
rapidly with every year. Which mean the usage of more marble is equal to the more wastage
of the marble. The large scale of marble production is from Rajasthan and Gujarat and

approximately 85% of marble produced in Rajasthan. The marble is used in the floor and
walls with proper shapes of cutting pieces. And the small cutting pieces are disposed as waste.
So this can be utilized in concrete mix as coarse aggregate. And the percentage can be used 0
to 100% in concrete mix as coarse aggregates. The main purpose is of this study to find out
the properties of concrete mix by replacing of marble aggregates. The results show that there
is no significance difference between primary aggregates and coarse marble aggregates on
durability which makes it possible.
2. EXPERIMENTAL WORK
Characteristics of Materials
Cement
In this study, the Ordinary Portland cement is used of 53 grade for full fill the requirement for
good strength.
SCBA
Sugarcane bagasse ash collected from the sugar mill at Morinda, Punjab. A large amount of
sugarcane processed on sugar mill and sugarcane bagasse is burn in boiler around at temp 400
C to 600 C. The samples were collected from the landfill of the sugar mill. The Sieving is
done in the laboratory to remove other dust particles and the fine sugarcane ash obtained.
Fine Aggregates (Sand)
In this study the fine aggregates particles are taken by sieving of 2.36 mm sieve.
Coarse Aggregates
The crushed stones are collected from nearby areas. The nominal size of these aggregates is
taken between 12.5 to 25 mm.
Marble Aggregates
In this study, the waste marbles are collected from nearby areas and crushed into the specific
size aggregates as per requirement. The nominal size was 12.5 to 25 mm.

Cement and Marble Waste as Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate
Super-plasticizers
BASF Super-plasticizers is used to reduce the water reduction and decrease the settling time
of concrete mix. It contains the water content percentage of control sample 72.8%.
Concrete mix
The concrete mix M30 is designed as per recommendation of IS:10262-1982. Sugarcane
bagasse ash is partially replaced with the OPC at different percentages 5%,10%,15%,20% and
the coarse aggregates are partially and fully replaced with marble aggregates in different
percentages 50% and 100%. The water-cement ratio 0.38 remains constant.
Casting of specimen
The casting of concrete cubes is done in 150mm size of the mould and the beams are cast 100
x 500mm size of beam moulds. The moulds were filled and compacted with the help of a
vibrating machine. The moulds were open after one day from the casting and put in the curing
water tank till there testing dates.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Workability
In this study the workability is increased on initial replace of SCBA and after that workability
starts decreasing constantly by increasing replacement of SCBA on 20%.
In the replacement of marble aggregates, workability increased with the increasing of
marble aggregates replacement.

4. CONCLUSIONS
Due to the replacement of sugarcane bagasse ash and marble aggregates, workability of
concrete mix is increased than the control mix.
The maximum compressive strength is achieved on 5% replacement of sugarcane with
100% replacement of marble waste in both 7 days and 28 days of testing.
The rebound hammer tests show hard and good layers in quality of concrete.
Ultrasonic test is performed to check the cracks, durability and compaction, homogeneity
of the concrete specimens. Results show the quality of material used in specimen is excellent.
In the water absorption test results show that the sugarcane bagasse ash absorb more water
and result table indicate the significant increasing water absorption value by increasing the
replacement of sugarcane bagasse.
