A Short Review on the Utilization of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash in the Manufacture of Concrete Block in Thailand
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper presents the use of sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) as a pozzolanic material for producing concrete block in Thailand. Sugarcane bagasse ash is a silica rich material that can play the role of an effective pozzolan leading to enhance pozzolanic reactions resulting in better performance of building materials. The literature review reveals that it has been utilized in the manufacture of concrete blocks as well as tiles in form of an auxiliary additive as well as a primary stabilizer. However, the use of concrete block has been more popular compared to sintered blocks due to higher energy consumption in the latter. To summarize, sugarcane bagasse ash not only has improved capability of concrete block in most of the cases but also has lowered the cost of the materials, leading to the conclusion that it’s a sustain and profoundly productive responsiveness for waste management as well as cost economy.
