Sugarcane bagasse ash is found abundantly in Ethiopia. Researchers in the area focus to sustainably use this pozzolan as a raw material for concrete production. This study aims to investigate the early and late age mechanical properties of Bagasse ash concrete. Concrete mixtures containing pure Portland cement, 6.5%, 13%, and 20% dosage of Bagasse ash by volume were proportioned. The compressive, tensile, flexural strength data at one, two, three, seven, twenty-eight days are determined. The experimental outcomes indicate that the tensile strength of bagasse ash concrete for 6.5% and 13% replacement ratio dropped by 6.98% and 22.5% compared to full cement concrete at three days of testing. As well, there is a reduction of third-day flexural strength by 5.96% and 13.1%. In advance, the 28th-day flexural strength increased by 6.38% and 17.02% for 6.5% and 13% replacement ratio. The compressive strength of bagasse ash concrete with 6.5% and 13% replacement ratios exceed the control group's 28th-day strength by 3.46% and 6.64% sequentially. Possibly, the ettringite formed as the base solution reacts with metallic oxides densifies the interfacial transition zone. Bagasse ash also contains inert unburned carbon particles that will fill the voids of hardened concrete. On the other hand, replacing cement with bagasse ash up to 20% reduces both the early and late age flexural strength and tensile strength development of concrete.
