The present study investigates the effect of pozzolanic material in concrete and hence improving the strength of concrete. This work evaluates the performance of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (BA) as a mineral admixture in concrete having the w/c ratio of 0.39. Concrete was produced with 5% of BA and also replaced with M-Sand for fine aggregate with 10%, 20% and 30%. Similarly the BA percentage is increase to 10% and 15% with different replacement of M-sand. The strength properties are compared with the above varying percentage and found that the mix of 10% BA and 20% M-Sand was comparably shown a better performance than the conventional concrete.
