The Research Progress and Application Prospects of Bamboo Leaf Ash Concrete

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research progress and application prospects of bamboo leaf ash (BLA) concrete. By analyzing the physicochemical properties of bamboo leaf ash and its mechanisms of action in concrete, the paper discusses the effects of bamboo leaf ash on the workability, mechanical properties, and durability of concrete. The research indicates that bamboo leaf ash, as a cement replacement material, offers significant environmental and economic benefits, with an optimal replacement rate ranging from 8% to 12%. Bamboo leaf ash concrete excels in enhancing compressive strength, improving durability, and reducing self-weight. However, further investigation is required to fully understand its long-term performance and microscopic mechanisms. This paper provides a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for the further research and application of bamboo leaf ash concrete.
