    Performance of Sugar Cane Baggage Ash (SCBA) as Partially Replacement of Cement in Concrete
    Sugar cane is main food crop in tropical and subtropical countries. It is the main resource for the sugar production. Sugar cane bagasse (SCB) is a waste that produced after the juice extraction of sugarcane while sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) produced after the control burning of SCB. The use of waste products as partial replacement for the material in concrete can help to reduce the environmental and economic problem. Since the cost of construction materials such as cement is increasing spirally and agricultural waste such as SCBA can be obtained at low cost, it has a good potential to use in concrete as cement replacement. In this study, the workability, density, and compressive strength of the concrete been chosen to compare with the green concrete. Three different types concrete cube have been casted in this study, na1111mely; 0, 5%, 7.5%, 10% of SCBA to replace for cement. The size of the cube samples to be casted is 100 x 100 x 100 mm and cured for 7 and 28 days. The study show that the optimum percentage for SCBA concrete is 5%, it give the highest compressive strength value compare to other percentage at 28 days.
