Abstract
Durability is an important aspect in determining the performance of concrete structures. The results of the durability properties at 90 days are best suited in determining the performance of the concrete structures and mortars. In this paper, cement mortars blended with sugarcane bagasse ash (BA) are studied for their durability properties at 90 days. One control cement mortar specimen and four specimens at 5, 10, 15 and 20% replacement for cement are prepared, and their properties are compared. However, it is difficult to analyze the performance because of varying factors, and hence, an optimization methodology is adapted. analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is an optimization methodology used in evaluating the performance of the specimens based on durability criteria. In this technique, all the durability criteria for the cement mortar are compared with each other based on their importance in determining the performance. Finally, a single value is obtained by relating all the properties considered, and the optimized mix proportion for replacement of bagasse ash is determined.
