Partial Replacement of Cement with Sugarcane Waste Ash in Cement Concrete. by Muhindo, Martin

“…The ash was then added in concrete in percentages of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by the weight of cement in the mix of 1:2:3 Different physical tests were carried out on the materials that were used i.e., Sand, coarse aggregates and ash which include final and Initial setting time of cement blended.with ash, slump test on fresh concrete and compressive strength test on hardened concrete at different ages of 7, 14 and 28 days of curing. The slump of the Concrete on addition of the ash reduced considerably with the increasing percentage of SCBA as compared to the control experiment. …”

Performance Evaluation of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Concrete in Rigid Pavement Construction. by Mutuyimana, John Robert

“…The compressive strength of RAP aggregate concrete ranges from 5.7 MPa to 21 MPa and conventional aggregates concrete ranges between 6.8 MPa to 22.5 MPA at varying w/c of (0.4,0.5,0.6) to each mix at different ages of curing 3days, 7days, 14days, 21days, 56days). RAP concrete mix of 1:1:2 at 0.5 w/c was established to produce the highest strength value and hence recommended for use in rigid pavement.…”
