This review also identified an optimal percentage of cement replacement with BA ranging from 8% to 12% in concrete specimens. Concerning compressive strength, 90% of the studies with BA reported cementitious materials with a strength activity index acceptable for use. However, other biological and environmental parameters that alter the bamboo chemical composition were not discussed in the papers. We identified a preference for bamboo leaves ashes as SCM, potentially due to its high silica amount. We overviewed the published literature about concrete made with BA, synthesizing data about BA chemical composition and mechanical and physical characteristics of cementitious materials made with these ashes. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate BA potential use in the construction industry as cement replacement by identifying their behavior in cementitious compounds and discovering the research gaps about this topic. Among the published review papers about agro-waste in civil construction, bamboo ashes (BA) appear secondary in large-scale studies. ![]() Agricultural wastes, for example, represent a new source of SCM studied over the last decades, mainly due to its high generation around the world. Implementing supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) to replace cement is an economical and sustainable practice. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cement production impacts the environment from raw materials extraction to its industrialized production.
