Sugar industries are the vital part of Indian industries and consumption of sugar in India is at its peak. There are several waste products which obtained as by products. Molasses is one among the four types of sugar waste and it contains 40-60 percent of total sugar content depending upon types of molasses. While other sugar-wastes are bagasse, pressed mud and discharging water containing mud. Among these wastes first two contains 3 percent of sugar and three contains negligible percent of sugar. In the present work molasses was collected from sugar mill Sonepat Haryana. The effects of different dosage level from 0 to 2.00 percent of the molasses by weight of cement were studied for standard consistency, setting time, water – reduction behavior and air – entrainment in fresh concrete. The studies were also carried out for 7-day and 28-day compressive strength of the mortar, 7-day and 28-day. This test results indicates that molasses acts as accelerator upto 0.50 percent dose and then becomes retarder. Also it is slightly a water reducer and air entraining agent. The compressive strength of mortar, concrete, flexural strength and tensile strength of concrete get increased on using 0 - 0.50 percent dose of molasses but the most favorable dose is 0.20 percent of molasses by weight of cement.
