Abstracts: This research work has been aimed to find out Behaviour of Concrete Properties by Utilization of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash as Utilization of industrial and agricultural waste products in the industry has been the focus of research for economical, environmental, and technical reasons. Sugar-cane Bagasse is a fibrous waste-product of the sugar refining industry, along with ethanol vapour. This waste-product is already causing serious environmental pollution which calls for urgent ways of handling the waste. In this paper, Bagasse Ash has been chemically and physically characterized, in order to evaluate the possibility of their use in the industry. The aim of this research is to replace the cement and sand by industrial wastes like Bagasse Ash in the proportion of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% by weight. The Compression Strength Test, Water absorption test and Split Tensile Test are carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties for 7 and 28 days. Keeping all this view, the aim of the investigation is the behaviour of Concrete while replacing Cement and Sand with different proportions of Bagasse Ash the optimum percentage of replacement. The results indicate that the incorporation of Bagasse Ash up to 20% replacement level bye cement and sand in concrete for production of economical and eco-friendly concrete.
