Abstract - This study aims to characterize the concrete

Moreover, these wastes attract a lot of insects when it is dumped and also effect the nature when it is burnt which produces harmful gasses which thread the public health and cause many diseases. The project intend is to merge the organic waste into construction industry and turn it into a useful cheap building material. In an attempt to reduce the initial costs of building material, sugarcane bagasse powder (SGP), eggshell powder (ESP) and Jute fiber as reinforcement materialis used as an additive in the structural cement blocks (bricks). In this present study, these materials are used as a partial replacement in fine aggregate as filler form and reinforcement form, and properties like compression strength and density test were determined.

block produced by the addition of the two natural waste materials i.e. sugarcane bagasse powder and egg shell powder. Disposing off these waste materials is a very challenging task and sometimes the sugarcane bagasse is a hazard to the environment also. The sugarcane bagasse, the egg shells and the jute fibers were collected locally from the cities of Mysore and Mandya, respectively. These raw materials collected i.e., the sugarcane bagasse and the egg shells were powdered and bought into the considerable form and checked for the basic materials testing like Specific gravity, Sieve analysis, Test for Bulk density, Test for Moisture content were done and the mix design was prepared; On the flow the concrete blocks were casted, cured for straight 28 days and the blocks were brought into the testing and the compression of the specimen was done and the natural raw materials were proven to be effective. In general, the overexploitation of natural sand has harmed many ecosystems, including soil and water, and disrupted the balance of life.

1. INTRODUCTION In order to enhance the qualities of concrete, several researchers employed various materials. These materials may be used in lieu of, in addition to, or as a replacement for fine aggregate in concrete. Natural sand is an appropriate resource for this purpose and is frequently used as a fine aggregate in the manufacture of mortar and concrete Ecofriendly behaviour is intentional living. The goal is to avoid interacting in a way that harms the environment. Natural sand has been overused in recent years, harming a number of ecosystems, including soil and water. To preserve the environment and recycle resources, it is essential to look for substitutes for natural sandstone. To reduce the use of natural resources, some waste kinds and other biodegradable products, such as sugarcane bagasse, eggshell powder, and jute fibre, can be recycled for renewable uses.

Realising sustainability, minimising environmental consequences, and achieving progress in the direction of environmentally friendly recycled materials.

The major objective is to decrease the use of sand and increase the use of biodegradable materials.

Influence on the compression strengths of concrete blocks constructed with various material ratios.

Comparison between conventional concrete blocks with concrete blocks made from jute fibre, sugarcane bagasse powder, and eggshell powder.

To determine the optimum ratio for the materials.

3. MATERIALS Cement: A binder, or substance that can bind other materials together and set and solidify, is something like cement, which is used in building. The two most crucial forms of cement are employed in the creation of mortar for masonry work and concrete, which combines cement with aggregate to create a study building material. Fine aggregate: River sand is replaced by manufactured sand (M-Sand) for making concrete. Crushing hard granite stone yields manufactured sand. The crushed sand is graded, rinsed, and shaped into a cubical form with grounded edges for use in building. M-Sand is manufactured sand with a

The accumulation of organic waste is one of the most serious problems facing in the developing countries. Getting rid of the wastes by dumping them in the waste land or burning and this effect negatively the environment.
