Current study focuses on mechanical properties of Sugarcane Baggase Ash (ScBA) as a cementetious material and as pore filling material in concrete. With depleting natural resources these industrial waste materials not only helps as replacement material but also provides in numerous alternate benefits such as protecting environment, land fill compounds, saving energy etc. Difficulty of disposing of ScBA is already an environmental hazard. ScBA imparts high strength in early replacements and also reduces concrete permeability, also presence of silica in chemical composition imparts high chloride resistance and corrosion resistance. Mechanical properties were studied for 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% replacement with cement, compressive strength, split tensile and workability were studied and optimum was found to be at 10% replacement. Also durability studies were performed by conducting Rapid Chloride Penetration Test (RCPT) and durability is found to be higher than conventional concrete.
