  • Abstract:
  • Concrete is the most adaptable construction material in the engineering sector, owing to its excellent strength and long-lasting resilience. Typical concrete mix compositions can be improved by integrating industrial and agricultural by-products such as fly ash (FA) and sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA), which fulfill both sustainability and efficiency goals. The physical properties of the materials such as OPC 53 cement, SBA, FA, M-sand & 20mm aggregate were examined. The consistency of the mix is determined and adopted a water cement ratio as 0.5. The mortar cubes of size 70.6 x 70.6mm were prepared by replacing the cement with flyash (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%), sugarcane bagasse ash (15%) and combination of SBA and FA were studied. Samples were tested for compressive strength at the ages of 3, 7, 14 & 28 days. SBA 15% and FA 10% reaches the maximum compressive strength when compared to conventional mortar.
