        abstract = {The use of agricultural waste materials as a partial replacement for cement in concrete production has gained considerable attention in recent years due to its environmental and economic benefits. Sugarcane Bagasse ash (SCBA) is a byproduct and has been studied as a pozzolanic material for use in concrete. This study aims to investigate the service life prediction of concrete blended with SCBA by conducting durability tests such as chloride ion penetration. The research results suggest that the incorporation of SCBA in concrete improves its durability and can extend its service life. Therefore, the use of SCBA as a sustainable alternative material in concrete production can contribute to a more environmentally friendly and economically viable construction industry. Control specimens with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) were made with other specimens, cement was replaced with 10%,15%,20%, and 25% of SCBA by weight of cement. Locally available Sugarcane waste was burnt to ash in a controlled manner, which was used in this study. The durability and compressive strength of that mortar mix using SCBA at different cement replacement percentages were investigated and compared with the control specimen. Also, the study considered the durability of SCBA blended concrete and how it affects the environment with high exposure levels.},
