This paper investigates the effects of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GS) and sugarcane bagasse ash (BA) on the properties of mortar. Firstly, BA was selected using a simple sieving method. Three-component mixtures were prepared by replacing cement with the various GS and BA contents in the range of 0–20%. Certain properties were investigated, including workability, bulk density, and compressive and flexural strengths. The results revealed that the presence of GS in the mixture yields long-term strength and reduces water demand, whereas BA requires more water and reduces strength in the early stage. The sample using 10% GS and 10% BA had compressive strengths and flexural strengths of 45.25 MPa and 8.48 MPa, respectively, after 112 days. Results indicated that the potential of GS-BA to replace cement and reduce CO2 emissions in sustainable construction scenarios.

摘要

This paper investigates the effects of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GS) and sugarcane bagasse ash (BA) on the properties of mortar. Firstly, BA was selected using a simple sieving method. Three-component mixtures were prepared by replacing cement with the various GS and BA contents in the range of 0–20%. Certain properties were investigated, including workability, bulk density, and compressive and flexural strengths. The results revealed that the presence of GS in the mixture yields long-term strength and reduces water demand, whereas BA requires more water and reduces strength in the early stage. The sample using 10% GS and 10% BA had compressive strengths and flexural strengths of 45.25 MPa and 8.48 MPa, respectively, after 112 days. Results indicated that the potential of GS-BA to replace cement and reduce CO2 emissions in sustainable construction scenarios.
