The construction industry is the largest consumer of natural resources which led to
depletion of good quality natural sand (fine aggregate). This situation led us to explore
alternative materials and sugarcane bagasse ash, a waste industrial byproduct is one such
material identified for use as a replacement of natural sand. Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash
(SCBA) generated from sugar mills is a waste-product usually delivered to landfills for
disposal. Using of sugarcane bagasse ash in concrete is an interesting possibility for
economy and conservation of natural resources. Conventionally concrete is mixture of
cement, sand and aggregate. Properties of aggregate affect the durability and performance
of concrete, so fine aggregate is an essential component of concrete. The most commonly
used fine aggregate is natural river or pit sand. Fine and coarse aggregate constitute about
75% of total volume.
