Abstracts: The problem arising from continuous technological and industrial development is generation of waste material which causes great impact on the environment.This utilization of waste would not only be economical, but may also control environmental pollution. Pozzocrete is a high efficiency pozzolanic material, obtained by selection, processing and testing of power station fly ash resulting from the combustion of coal at electricity generating power stations. Sugarcane bagasse ash is a fibrous residue after crushing and juice extraction from sugarcane. This bagasse is used as a biomass fuel in the boilers to generate power in the sugar industry. The ash which was obtained from the boiler is a major waste product and mainly contains silica (SiO2). In this experimental investigation the specimens containing sugarcane bagasse ash as partial replacement of fine aggregate by the ratio of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% by weight and the specimens containing pozzocrete as partial replacement of cement along with sugarcane bagasse ash as an optimum replacement of fine aggregate by the ratio of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% by weight are produced and then they are compared. The specimens are to be tested to know the behavior and mechanical properties of concrete on addition of industrial waste.
