The demand for and consumption of cement are rising as the building industry expands quickly. Cement manufacture takes a lot of raw resources, which results in carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere and other environmental issues. There has been a lot of research done in an effort to create substitute binders that are eco-friendly and aid in waste management. The bagasse, or fibrous waste product, is produced in large quantities by the sugar processing companies and dumped on open ground. Utilizing trash and its by-products as a disposal alternative has grown more appealing as environmental awareness has grown. Pozzolanic qualities are present in sugarcane bagasse ash, which mostly comprises silica and aluminium ions. During hydration, the silica in the bagasse ash interacts with the cement's ingredients. In the current development, an effort has been made to partially substitute cement with bagasse ash. The primary goal of this research is to examine the qualities of M-30 grade control concrete while it is both fresh and hardened. Bagasse ash has been substituted in concrete in amounts of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% by cement weight. Slump testing is done to investigate the new qualities. Compressive and split tensile strength tests are carried out to examine the hardened characteristics of concrete, and comparison research will be done.
