Abstract

PT Gula Glenmore produces 270,000 tons of sugarcane bagasse per milling season, mostly unused and environmentally harmful. This study aims to utilize sugarcane bagasse ash as an alternative pozzolanic material for concrete, replacing cement with the aid of artificial intelligence (machine learning). The methods used include linear regression, decision tree, and random forest to predict the performance of normal concrete mixtures with a compressive strength of 30 MPa, shaped into cylinders (30 cm of height and, 15 cm of diameter).Prediction results indicate that the random forest method identifies the optimal composition of bagasse ash with a compressive strength of 25.33 MPa from 1.33% bagasse ash, which is more accurate compared to the linear regression method (24.37 MPa with 1.18%) and the decision tree method (25.03 MPa with 0.73%). Laboratory tests show compressive strengths of X12: 25 MPa, X22: 24 MPa, and X23: 26 MPa, respectively. The random forest method provides more accurate predictions due to its ability to capture non-linear relationships, although it requires higher computational resources and results in more complex interpretations. This research is expected to reduce trial and error in further research on the use of sugarcane bagasse ash as a pozzolanic material.
