Concrete is a powerful industrial substance into construction industry due to the durability and its strength properties. Construction industries have drained natural resources as well as build the poisonous material in the atmosphere by the utilization of raw materials. The substitute items have been found to conserve the natural resources and atmosphere to some degree. Utilization of this atmospheric waste material into the construction industry without much treatment may be a good alternative for natural aggregates. Accordingly, in this paper M30 grade of concrete mix (As per IS 10262:2009) is replaced with natural / industrial wastes like sugarcane bagasse ash and steel fiber. For casting the concrete cube, the replacement dosage of Sugarcane bagasse ash and steel fibre varied from 0% to 20% in the level of 5% and 0% to 1.5% in a level of 0.5% respectively by cement weight. Concrete cube having above ingredient of the mixes was cured for 7, 28 and 90 days. The impact of the mixture of sugarcane bagasse ash and steel fibre on different mechanical properties like compressive/flexural/split tensile strength was examined. It was observed that addition of 10 % of sugarcane bagasse ash and 1% of steel fibre into cement is a promising combination that provides optimum mechanical properties.
