Ceniza de bagazo de caña de azúcar como sustituto parcial de cemento Portland en la elaboración de hormigón celular

Abstract

Abstract: The following research topic presents a partial analysis about cellular concrete, where the main physical and mechanical characteristics are evidenced in comparison with conventional concrete. Focusing then on the link between different parties, be they chemical or sugar companies, he also exposes the replacement of portland cement by supplementary cementitious material, in this case sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA). From them, the method known as sterilized cellular concrete in non-autoclave (NAAC) is elaborated, where grout consisting of (lime, sand, cement, water and expansion agent hydrogen peroxide H2O2) was used, the latter being the protagonist to minimize the density of the concrete. The result was satisfactory, since the cellular concrete effectively decreases the density, however, it does not make an area of a house less satisfactory, instead it positively affects the comfort in the rooms, that is, its technical feasibility and its architectural applications are a anchoring to its future uses, in floors, ceilings, dividing panels, without neglecting its possible structural use due to pH level.
