Abstract: Concrete is a building material made from a mixture of broken stone or gravel, sand, cement and water. The demand for concrete leads to increased usage of cement and aggregate. In concrete, cement and aggregate can be partially replaced by different supplementary materials to enhance the properties of concrete mix. Sugarcane bagasse ash is a waste material which is a byproduct of sugarcane processing and can be used in various applications such as construction materials. This substitution can enhance the sustainability of concrete by reducing the demand for natural aggregate and lowering the environmental impacts associated with their extraction. This present paper works, aims to investigate the strength properties of polypropylene fiber concrete with sugarcane bagasse ash. Control mix M30 PFC is prepared by replacing 25% of cement with fly ash and adding 0.1% of polypropylene fiber to the total mass of M30 grade concrete. Polypropylene fiber sugarcane bagasse ash concrete (PFSC) is prepared by replacing the cement with varying percentages 5, 10 and 15%. Mechanical properties tested for the fresh and hardened concrete includes slump test, compressive strength test, split tensile test and flexural strength test. Key words: Pozzolanic property, sugarcane bagasse ash.
