Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of an eco-friendly binder based on hydrated lime Ca(OH)2 and optimized sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA). It is a lightweight binder performed with low energy consumption and low CO2 emission materials. The SCBA was sieved and the physical and chemical effects of removing the coarse particles present in this ash were analyzed. Experimental investigations revealed that sieving procedure improves both finesse and reactivity of the raw SCBA and increases by 30 % the compressive strength of the binder based on SCBA and Ca(OH)2.
