We made an attempt to utilize the sugarcane bagasse ash as cement replacement material in making the concrete specimen. 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. Sugar-cane bagasse ash is a fibrous waste-product of the sugar refining industry, along with ethanol vapor. This waste product is already causing serious environmental pollution, which calls for urgent ways of handling the waste. Bagasse ash mainly contains aluminum ion and silica. In this paper, Bagasseash has been chemically and physically characterized, and partially replaced in the ratio of 5% by of cement in concrete. The effect of addition of silica fume in the bagasse ash based concrete specimen has also investigated. concrete specimen were cast with bagasse ash as cement replacement material at zero, and5 percent for the concrete grade M60 and silica fume at 5percent were also added for the above all the combinations of the concrete specimen. Tests on the compressive strength at 7 days and 28 days, flexural strength and split test at 28 days were conducted on the concrete specimen. The result shows that the strength of concrete increased as percentage of bagasse replacement increased. Flexural behaviour of control beam and bagasse beam was studied by using 2 point load .The result indicated that the load carrying capacity of bagasse beam more than control beam.
