We are aware that manufacturing of cement causes lots of damages to our environment. It emits carbon compounds and other chemicals. The researches have shown that one ton of cement manufacture releases half ton of carbon dioxide, so there is a need to control the usage of cement. On the hand material wastes such as Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and fibre is difficult to dispose which is hazardours to environment. The Bagasse ash and fibre imparts high early strength to concrete and also reduce the permeability of concrete.The Silica present in the Bagasse ash reacts with components of cement during hydration and imparts additional properties such as chloride resistance, corrosion resistance etc. Therefore, the use enhances the properties of concrete and also reduces the cost and makes the concrete more durable. This project mainly deals with the replacement of cement with Bagasse ash and fibre in fixed proportions and analyzing the effect of HCI on SCBA blended concrete. The concrete mix designed by varying the proportions of Bagasse ash for (5%, 10% and 15%) and Bagasse fibre for (0.5% and 1.0%) the cubes are been casted and cured in normal water and 5% HCL solution for ages of 7, 14 and 28 days. The test result indicates that the strength of concrete increases upto 10% Sugar cane bagasse ash and 1.0% Sugar cane ash replacement with cement. The natural, bio-degradable features and chemical constituents of the sugarcane bagasse (SCB) have been attracting attention as a highly potential and versatile ingredient in composite materials. Various components of SCB is shown to possess the ability of being applied as raw material for manufacturing of composite materials at multiple levels of properties and performances.
