Dissertation note: College of Engineering.-- Bachelor of science in civil engineering: Technological University of the Philippines, 2025. Summary: This study explores the utilization of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) bagasse waste, a prevalent agricultural byproduct, to produce cement-bonded particle boards. Both bagasse fiber and ash were incorporated into the design mix, featuring 12 variations with different proportions: cement (100%, 90%, 80%), bagasse ash (0%, 10%, 20%), and bagasse fiber (10%, 15%, 20%). A fixed water-to-cement ratio of 0.60 was maintained. Samples (300 × 300 mm, 12 mm thickness) were cured for 28 days and evaluated for mechanical, physical, and thermal properties. The resulting high-density boards (type 200) demonstrated compliance with Philippine National Standards (PNS) for fiber cement particle boards in water absorption and thickness swelling. Nail head pull-through (NHPT) and face screw holding test (FSHT) results indicated excellent drilling and nailing performance. However, the thermal conductivity of the boards decreased as fiber and ash content increased. Most boards failed to meet standards for modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE). Mix Design M8 (15% bagasse fiber, 10% bagasse ash) emerged as the most suitable combination, passing eight tests and excelling in three. Results adhered to PNS 230:1989 and ISO 8335:1987 standards.

This study explores the utilization of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) bagasse
waste, a prevalent agricultural byproduct, to produce cement-bonded particle boards. Both
bagasse fiber and ash were incorporated into the design mix, featuring 12 variations with
different proportions: cement (100%, 90%, 80%), bagasse ash (0%, 10%, 20%), and
bagasse fiber (10%, 15%, 20%). A fixed water-to-cement ratio of 0.60 was maintained.
Samples (300 × 300 mm, 12 mm thickness) were cured for 28 days and evaluated for
mechanical, physical, and thermal properties. The resulting high-density boards (type 200)
demonstrated compliance with Philippine National Standards (PNS) for fiber cement
particle boards in water absorption and thickness swelling. Nail head pull-through (NHPT)
and face screw holding test (FSHT) results indicated excellent drilling and nailing
performance. However, the thermal conductivity of the boards decreased as fiber and ash
content increased. Most boards failed to meet standards for modulus of rupture (MOR) and
modulus of elasticity (MOE). Mix Design M8 (15% bagasse fiber, 10% bagasse ash)
emerged as the most suitable combination, passing eight tests and excelling in three.
Results adhered to PNS 230:1989 and ISO 8335:1987 standards.
