Evaluation of Bagasse Ash as Cement and Sand Replacement for the Production of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC)

The objective of this study is to develop novel Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) implementing bagasse ash as sand and cement replacement to produce a new generation of ECC that are cost-effective and practical for repair and new construction of transportation infrastructure in the region. In order to achieve this objective, ECC mixtures will be designed with different types (i.e., different levels of processing) and proportions of bagasse. Bagasse ECCs fresh and hardened properties will be evaluated to identify key parameters ensuring a balance of fresh and hardened properties as well as strain-hardening performance.
