With increasing demand and consumption of cement, researchers and scientists are in search of developing alternate binders that are eco-friendly and contribute towards waste management. The utilization of industrial and agricultural waste produced by industrial processes has been the focus of waste reduction research for economical, environmental and technical reasons. Cement industry creates environmental problems by emission of CO2 during the manufacturing of cement. Sugar-cane bagasse is a fibrous waste-product of the sugar refining industry, along with ethanol vapor. This waste product (Sugar-cane Bagasse ash) is already causing serious environmental pollution, which calls for urgent ways of handling the waste. Bagasse ash mainly contains aluminum ions and silica. This experimental and analytical study investigates the strength performance of concrete using Ordinary Portland cement and Sugarcane Bagasse Ash. India produces around 24-25 MEGATON of sugar these days and also approximately the estimated sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) produce of India. Therefore it is essential that a useful method of utilization of this sugar factory waste should be found and gainfully used. As the demandandconsumption of cement rises, researchers and scientists are in search of developing alternative binders that are eco-friendly and contribute towards waste management .The utilization of industrial and agricultural waste produced by industrial processes has been the focus of waste reduction research for economic, environmental and technical reasons. Sugar cane bagasse ash is a fibrous waste product of the sugar industry, along with ethanol vapor. This waste product is already causing serious environmental pollution, which calls for urgent ways of handling the waste. It has a limited life span and after use it is either stock piled or sent to landfills. In these project bagasse ash has been chemically and physically characterized and partially replaced in the ratio of 0%,7%,14% and 21% by weight of cement fresh concrete that is slump cone test were undertaken as well as hardened concrete test is compressive strength and Flexural Strength at the age of 7 and 28 days was obtained.
