Beschreibung
Sugar Cane is a particularly useful product in developing countries.Unfortunately, as is the case with almost every useful material it leaves behind its waste ash which is largely dumped in landfills. These landfills destroy the aesthetic appearance of landscape as well as rapidly become an environmental burden. The use of Bagasse ash in soils and in concrete has been successfully proven but its possible potential as a highway construction material still remains to be explored The paper aims to utilize it as a useful material as highway construction material. To test its potential as subgrade material, compaction test, and unconfined compressive strength and CBR test was conducted for evaluation.Highest CBR values were 13.6% for 4 days cured sample and 25.85% for 40 days cured sample. Recycling of SCBA waste in productive construction activities will yield us profoundly positive results in terms of environmental protection, waste management practices, and saving of raw materials.
