  • Abstract:
  • This study explores the feasibility of using agricultural waste as partial replacement of fine and coarse aggregate in concrete, aiming to enhance sustainability in construction practices. Agricultural by-products, such as sugarcane bagasse ash, Dates seed, were integrated into concrete mixtures at different proportions. In this study, different mixes of concrete were prepared by placing fine and coarse aggregate with in sugarcane bagasse ash and Dates seed percentages of 2.5%, 5% and 7.5%.The mechanical properties, including compressive strength, flexural strength, and durability, were assessed using ANSYS software to simulate structural performance under load conditions. The results demonstrated promising outcomes, highlighting the potential of agricultural waste to reduce dependency on conventional aggregates, lower environmental impact, and offer cost-effective alternatives for eco-friendly construction. This research emphasizes the dual benefit of waste management and sustainable material development in modern construction
