Analysis shows banana peel powder ash effectively substitutes cement in self-compacting concrete, indicating potential environmental benefits.
Notably, the ineffective Biogenic organic waste management is largely due to the limited landfill cараcity at Temа town in Ghana, in turn, results with health issues, such as rеsрirаtory complications, dеrmаtologicаl irritation, and the incrеаsеd transmission of infectious disеаsеs. This is mostly due to the rеlеаsе of noxious gases, раthogеns, and рollutаnts, including Mеthаnе, Cаrbon dioxide, and Volatile orgаnic compounds (VOCs) and Раrticulаtе matters into the еnvironmеnt. Recycling organic waste is particularly important for public health as it reduces the threat of infection and therefore, this article focuses on recycling of a Bio- organic element for the generation of C-25 self-compacting concrete (SCC). In this research, both fresh and hardened features of concrete and really appropriate allowable alternative fraction of Banana Peel Powder Ash (BPPA) replacing cement had determined for C-25 concrete. Workability of SCC samples was tested by means of T500 slump flow, Lbox, and V-Funnel test methods. The outcome of these characteristics of concrete in this investigation form a foundation for proportioning of powerful SCC combinations relevant for further utilization in the building industries. In addition, it plays a key role in minimizing overall environmental issues and reduces intake of cement for making SCC by means of employing Banana Peel Powder Ash (BPPA) as a supplementary ingredient. To achieve the specific goal of this study, six mixes of SCC samples had been investigated. In this case, quantities of satisfactory quantity of fine aggregates and coarse aggregates are kept constant whereas, Cement and Banana Peel Powder Ash (BPPA) amount varies with the fraction of substitute. The optimum advocated constraint of Banana Peel Powder Ash (BPPA) replacing cement to supply suited energy for SCC is 15% accomplishing its 28th day compressive reliability of 26.03Mpa. Major findings: The experiments revealed that the applications of banana peels in the form of ashes are appropriate for making self-compacting concretes. The study finds that replacing 15% of cement with BPPA maintains comparable strength and workability for concrete.
