A Simple Computer Model for the Prediction of Chemical Shrinkage and Heat of Hydration of Sugarcane Waste Fiber Ash (SWFA)-Cement Paste

J. N. Mwero

Abstract: A computer model coded in Visual Basic and based on the chemical reaction rules of cement hydration reactions was able to predict reasonably the chemical shrinkage and heat of hydration of hydrating cement pastes containing 0 – 20% Sugarcane Waste Fiber Ash (SWFA), and also the 28 day compressive strength values of concrete containing 0 – 20% SWFA by weight of the total binder.
