Abstract: The increasing demand for construction materials has resulted in rapid depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation. This study investigates the use of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) as partial replacement of cement and Coconut Shell (CS) as partial replacement of coarse aggregate in M25 grade concrete. Different replacement levels of SCBA and coconut shell were used to study workability and compressive strength characteristics. Experimental results indicated that the use of 10% SCBA and 10–20% coconut shell provided satisfactory strength and durability properties while reducing environmental impact. The developed concrete can be considered sustainable, lightweight, and economical for future construction applications.
