River sand is becoming increasingly scarce. As a result, an alternative material is required to replace river sand in order to save river sand. In the construction of quality concrete, artificial aggregate is now frequently employed as a substitute for river sand. Coconut fibre ash (CFA) aggregate obtained from Coconut fibre is prev - alent in India. Partially replacing river sand (fine aggregate) with presaturated CFA aggregate for self curing purpose is presented in the paper. Fine aggregates were replaced by CFA aggregate by 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by volume. The workability and strength characteristics of the concrete are studied. Internal curing is the solution to today's water scarcity's insufficient curing. During compared to other mixtures, test results show that the concrete mix with 20% CFA aggregate produced better results when self curing.

This paper summarizes the experimental investigation on mechanical behavior of concrete in which Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) pellets is used as a partial replacement of fine aggregate. As river sand is a scanty material now a day, there is an urgent need to look into alternate material. Now a days artificial aggregate are popular as a substitution of fine aggregate to make better concrete. Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) aggregate pellets derived from waste sugarcane bagasse which is available plentifully. The concrete made by partially replacing M-sand with presaturated SCBA aggregate for self curing purpose is investigated. At that, maximum of 20% (by volume) was replaced. Workability and mechanical properties are analyzed. Test results indicate the concrete mix with 15% replacement by volume of SCBA aggregate exhibited better results in case of self curing condition, when compared to other mixes.
