Infrastructure development is prime need of any country for development. The Infrastructure development has increased the demand of cement and fine aggregates. The cement production industry creates environmental problems such as pollution and global warming due to emission of various hazardous gases. And natural sand is expensive and not available easily so overcome these problems researches are more focusing towards utilizing agricultural and industrial waste material. Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) is left-over industrial byproduct from sugar factory’s captive power plant which is used for partial replacement of cement and Groundnut Shells (GS) are agricultural waste product which is used for partial replacement of sand. In this paper SCBA has been chemically and physically categorized and partially replaced in the ratio of 2% & 5% by weight of cement and Crushed Groundnut Shells partially replaced in fixed ratio of 5% by weight of fine aggregates in M25 grade concrete mix. There are total of 36 specimens of the Combination of SCBA and GS /OPC concrete cubes of 150 mm size were tested for compressive strength at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after immersed curing. The results show that the compressive strengths of the standard mix and those of other percentage combinations increases with curing age but decreases with increased SCBA and GS percentage. It can be concluded that the satisfactory concrete with replacement of 5% of SCBA and 5% replacement of GS content.
