Abstract

This research is justified by the need to find other solutions to reduce the consumption of fine aggregate, replacing it with waste or by-products from other industrial sectors. Among these residues, sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA) is highlighted. SBA is a residue generated during the sugar and alcohol production process, studies carried out by several authors have identified that this is a material that has physical characteristics close to those of fine aggregates and in some cases has pozzolan potential. This work intends to evaluate the properties of resistance to segregation and exudation, in addition to the ability to meet the minimum density requirements of mortars containing silica fume as fine material and sugarcane bagasse ash as fine aggregate. Also, the mechanical properties of self-compacting mortars will be analyzed.


Keywords: Self-compacting mortar, Silica active, Mechanical resistance, Sugarcane bagasse ash.
