SUSTAINABLE USE OF SUGARCANE BAGASSE ASH AND WASTE GLASS IN CONCRETEGURJIT SINGH, JASPAL SINGH AND JAGMEET SINGHAbstract The present study focuses on the utilization of waste materials in place of concrete ingredients to make concrete industry sustainable and economical. During the production of cement large amount of CO2 is emitted, which has a significant impact on environment. Apart from this, extraction of natural aggregates and generation of industrial waste also leads to environmental degradation, ecological imbalance and environmental pollution. The use of these waste materials not only helps to reduce the use of natural resources also helps to mitigate the environment pollution. This paper presents an investigation on the effect of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) and Waste Glass (WG) on the workability and compressive strength of concrete. In this study total twenty five mixes of concrete were prepared at different replacement levels of SCBA (0 to 20% @ increment of 5%) with cement and WG (0 to 40% @ increment of 10%) with fine aggregates. From results, it can be concluded that the combination of 10% SCBA and 10% WG is most suitable for higher strength, cost and acceptable workability.
