Abstract
This research study thoroughly investigates the impact of partial substitution of fine aggregates with bagasse ash in M30 grade concrete, focusing on the compressive and split tensile strengths. The replacement levels were varied from 5% to 15% to assess the influence on concrete performance. Through rigorous compressive strength and split tensile tests, it was observed that the incorporation of bagasse ash led to a notable reduction in both strength parameters. The findings offer insights into the challenges and prospects associated with the integration of bagasse ash in concrete mixtures, highlighting implications for sustainable construction practices. This research contributes to the growing understanding of alternative materials in construction, emphasizing the importance of meticulous material selection and mix design for ensuring durable and robust concrete structures, thus fostering environmentally friendly and cost-effective approaches in the construction industry.
