The impact of lime and sugarcane bagasse ash on the mechanical qualities of concrete is
examined in this study. We created several samples with varying proportions of lime and bagasse ash,
and we tested their tensile, flexural, and compression strengths. The findings demonstrate that adding
lime and bagasse ash to concrete generally enhances its mechanical qualities, including its resistance to
ammonium nitrate attack and increases its compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths. Thus, in this
investigation, a 1:2:4 ratio of concrete was made by substituting 5% of the cement's weight with bagasse
ash and 10% with lime or 10% of the cement's weight with bagasse ash and 10% with lime. In this study,
bagasse ash and lime were used in varying proportions to the cement weight to make cubes of 6" by 6"
by 6", a cylinder with a diameter of 6" and a height of 12", and beams measuring 20" by 4" by 4". These
were all prepared and correctly cured in a curing tank. Findings indicated that adding 10% lime and 5%
bagasse ash to concrete improved its mechanical qualities.
