摘要：The aggregates which are produced naturally facing a major problems so alternative sources are used in the production of concretes with aggregates. Here, the finely powdered bagasse ashes are used as a partial replacement of cement in concrete and compared it with conventional concrete. In this work, the mechanical and durability properties of concrete with bagasse ash which is partially replaced with cement (5%, 10%, 15% to weight of cement) additional to it sugarcane fiber is also added (0.5% and 1% to weight of cement) is studied. The physical and chemical properties of the collected samples are determined. The hardened concrete specimens were subjected to compression and tensile tests after 7, 21 and 28 days of curing. The durability of the concrete specimens to sulphate attack and acid attack are tested. The concrete specimen in which the bagasse ash is partially replaced with cement showed higher values of compressive strength and tensile strength when compared to that of conventional concrete and the durability of the concrete specimens were found to be similar to that of conventional concrete.
