— The utilization of industrial and agricultural waste produced by industrial processes has been the focus ofwaste reduction research for economical, environmental, and technical reasons. Sugar-cane bagasse is a fibrous wasteproduct of the sugar refining industry, along with ethanol vapor. This waste product (Sugar-cane Bagasse ash) isalready causing serious environmental pollution, which calls for urgent ways of handling the waste. Bagasse ash mainlycontains aluminum ion and silica. In this paper, Bagasse ash has been chemically and physically characterized, andpartially replaced in the ratio of 0%, 5%, 15% and 25% by weight of cement in concrete. Fresh concrete tests likecompaction factor test and slump cone test were undertaken was well as hardened concrete tests like compressivestrength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity at the age of seven and 28 days was obtained.The result shows that the strength of concrete increased as percentage of bagasse ash replacement increased.
