This report represents a detailed works on utilization of refined Saccharum officinarum bagasse ash (SOBA) as partially mixed with the cement content for the preparation of normal concrete. This experiment reveals SOBA result on cement replacement material (CRM). The CRM properties of SOBA were used because of its chemical properties, fine grained and availability. Usages of bagasse ash act as a good additive under continuous production of SOBA. Around 1700 Mt of Saccharum officinarum is produced, which gives roughly 30 – 35% bagasse in sugar companies. This experimental works enhances the content of SOBA was utilized from 10%-30% in cement partially. The concrete properties such as workability, compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of concrete using SOBA is done. This shows, replacement of SOBA (6 – 60% content) inhibit the value of fresh concrete in slump test. The compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of 6% SOBA shows a good increase in their comparison with 100% cement concrete mixture.
