Abstract

Due to the increase in the rate of urbanization, the availability of construction resources is depleting at a higher rate. To fulfil the demand, the application of agricultural wastes can compensate for the lack of resources in construction purposes. Different types of wastes are generated from agricultural fields, their disposal problems have caused a harmful impact on human health and the environment. Thus, their consumption as construction materials may reduce the problems caused by them. Sugarcane bagasse is one of those wastes which is generally burned or disposed of directly to the landfills. Numerous studies have suggested that the performance of concrete gets improved when the integration of sugarcane bagasse is done up to a certain limit. This paper is an effort to gather globally available data to give insight to the readers about the various roles which sugarcane bagasse have played for the integration in the concrete.
