Abstract
This study considering the recycling of agricultural/industrial wastes into cement and to bring sustainable and environmental-friendly concrete. In this investigation, studied about the mechanical properties of Wheat straw ash and Bamboo wood ash. The mechanical properties was evaluated in terms of compressive strength test, flexural strength test & split tensile strength test of concrete. Addition of WSA & BWA in concrete by replacement material with different percentage i.e. 5%, 10%, 15% & 20% by the weight of cement. The aim of this study is to check the effect of mechanical properties of WSA & BWA in concrete for sustainable development. During the production of cement involves an intensive use of raw material and energy, while at the same time, releases high quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Which causes environmental pollution and greenhouse gases. Thus WSA & BWA can be used as a cementitious material in the replacement of cement in concrete. This one of the effective way to reduce its impact on environment.
