Objectives: There are increase in demand and utilization of cement and many scientists are in search for developing alternative binding materials that can be eco-friendly. The use of agricultural and industrial waste produced can help in reduction of waste is our focus. Methods: In this work one of the agricultural waste named sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) and industrial waste named glass powder has been used as partial replacement of cement. SCBA is produced by burning of sugarcane bagasse which is left after extraction of juice from sugarcane. At high temperature under controlled condition bagasse is burned to obtain ash which contains high amorphous silica. In this paper the cement by weight is replaced by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by SCBA in concrete. Findings: A comparison is made for 0% and other percentages by conducting different tests named compressive strength test, flexural strength test and split tensile strength test for 7 days and 28 days. Improvements: The test results shows that Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and glass powder can be utilized for partial replacement of cement up to 10% by weight of cement without any major loss in strength.
