- The infrastructure need of our country is increasing day by day and with concrete as a main constituent of construction material and the safety of systems is to be ensured. Portland cement is the major construction material throughout the world. Today researchers are focusing on utilizing industrial or agricultural waste, as a source of raw materials for industry which results in foreign exchange earnings and environmental pollution. Industrial wastes, such as blast furnace slag, fly ash and silica fumes are being used as supplementary cement materials. The utilization of bagasse ash is more, the residue from an in-line sugar industry and the bagasse-biomass fuel in electric generation industry. There is a possibility in using sugarcane bagasse ash as cement material to improve quality and reduce the cost of construction materials such as mortar, concrete pavers, and concrete roof tiles and cement interlocking block. Cement is a prime ingredient for concrete based construction but it’s over usage leads to environmental pollution. The function of the fine aggregate is to assist in producing workability and uniformity in the mixture. The river deposits are the most common source of fine aggregate. Now-a-days the natural river sand has become scarce and very costly. Hence we are forced to think of alternative materials. The Quarry dust may be used in the place of river sand fully or partly. A comparatively good strength is expected when sand is replaced partially or fully with or without concrete admixtures. Utilization of sugarcane bagasse ash as replacement in cement and Quarry dust in replacement with fine aggregate with a percentage replacement of 10%, 15% and 25% respectively. This paper contains preparation of sugarcane bagasse ash and quarry dust based concrete which undergoes certain tests compared to conventional concrete, which results in being better than conventional concrete.
