Prediction of Compressive Strength and Modulus of Rupture of Mortar Containing Added Ash Bagasse

This paper focuses on the mechanical and physical evaluation of Portland cement mortars, CPC, with the addition of ash sugarcane bagasse (CBC) and a high-range water-reducing and super-plasticizing admixture (SikaViscoCrete PC ® 2500), and its effect is discussed mainly in terms of the mechanical strength properties through destructive and non-destructive testing. Each of the additions is made in three different percentages and specimens each of the three percentages were submitted to destructive (ultrasonic pulse velocity, resistivity) and non-destructive testing (compressive strength and modulus of rupture). From the results of the destructive and non-destructive testing, correlations were obtained using multiple linear regression. This indicated the best model according to the correlation factor obtained. Keywords-compressive strenght; mostar; ash bagasse
