Aim of the project is to utilize the waste product bagass ash produced by agricultural industry and enhancement of concrete strength by using steel fiber. Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) is a left-over industrial west product which is used as a replacement of cement. Sugarcane bagasse ash has high content in silica. Using of Sugarcane bagasse ash in concrete is a remarkable possibility for economy and conservation of natural resources. One of the important properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete is its superior resistance to cracking. As a result of this ability to arrest cracks, fibers are able to hold the matrix together even after extensive cracking. In this project Sugarcane bagasse ash has been partially replaced with cement in the ratio of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by the weight of cement in M60 Grade concrete. From the test results optimum percentage of Sugarcane bagasse ash has achieved on steel fiber reinforced concrete.
