Abstract Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) is an advanced cementitious material contains significant amount of pozzolanic minerals like silica, alumina, etc. In view of this, in the present study it is proposed to partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) by SCBA up-to 30%. OPC was replaced in two forms, namely, Original SCBA (O-SCBA) and Processed SCBA (P-SCBA). The mechanical properties such as cylinder compressive strength, Modulus of Rupture (MOR) and Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) were evaluated for SCBA blended concrete and compared with conventional concrete. Further the relationships between cylinder compressive strength, MOR and MOE were established as per AS3600 (Australian Standards 3600), ACI318 (American Concrete Institute 318) and NZS3101 (New Zealand Standard 3101).
