The partial incorporation of natural pozzolans like sugarcane bagasse ash in concrete construction is of the prominent attention to meet the high demand for cement while also ensuring a sustainable environment. The sugarcane bagasse ash has higher percentages of silica compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). When sugarcane bagasse ash undergoes pozzolanic reaction, additional Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) is formed in cement hydration matrix. This study concentrates on the effectiveness of using sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) as a cement substitute in concrete at prolonged elevated temperatures. For investigation different compositions of SCBA (5%, 10% and 15%) were added to the concrete with a water-cement ratio of 0.49. The compressive strength of the test samples was investigated at room temperature (26°C) for reference performance along with the several elevated temperatures of 60°C, 120°C, 180°C, and 240°C for two hours. Afterward, the concrete efficiency was assessed considering the residual compressive strength. The result shows an improvement of compressive strength up to 10% SCBA inclusion at room temperature. Moreover, concrete specimens which are exposed to elevated temperatures exhibit a notable decrement of compressive strength. However, the descending rate of compressive strength was low in case of SCBA concrete compare to other pozzolanic mixture. A 10% substitution of cement with sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) demonstrated most observable mixing in concrete considering cost effectiveness and resistance against elevated temperatures.
