Abstract

Around the world, sugarcane production complexes annually produce about 1.2 million tons of surplus bagasse, which is burned due to the lack of conversion industries. In today's advanced world and due to advances in various scientific fields, the concrete industry has also evolved. Concrete containing pozzolan has different applications due to its special properties, which are differentiated according to its specific weight and compressive strength. Due to the importance of this issue, in this article, the effect of bagasse stem sugar pulp on the mixing of structural concretes in sulfate and chloride environments is investigated. For this purpose, eleven laboratory samples are used with a percentage of pozzolans of 0 to 55% is studied as a variable parameter. Finally, laboratory experiments showed that the addition of bagasse pozzolan in concrete increases the mechanical strength of concrete in chloride and sulfate environments and also the optimal percentage of bagasse pozzolan that causes the highest compressive strength in Concretes containing this pozzolan are 25% by weight of cement
