Interlocking concrete paving block, Bamboo ash, Water absorption, MicrostructureAbstract
This research focused on studying the physical properties, mechanical properties, and microstructure of concrete interlocking blocks that use bamboo ash as a partial replacement of cement. In the 10, 20, and 30 percentages by weight of cement, dimensions of shape, density, water absorption, and microstructure were tested. High-magnification imaged by scanning electron microscope technique elemental analysis with energy-dispersed X-ray spectrometry and compounds by X-ray diffraction analysis technique. In addition to that, there was a comparative test of concrete blocks interlocking paving using water curing and air curing methods. According to the test results, the dimensional dimension test was following ASTM C936/C936M standards, the density of concrete interlocking blocks for paving is in the range of 2,111-2,209 kilograms per cubic meter. Water absorption tended to increase significantly with an increase in bamboo ash content. Mixing 10% bamboo ash by weight provided the best compressive strength, curing water at 60 days of age, and the microstructure found calcium silicate hydrate and ettringite. Therefore, bamboo ash can replace cement mixtures for some specific applications.
