However, these wastes are inexpensive and easily available everywhere to utilize for commercial purpose and also helpful in reducing the environmental pollution. This experimental study aimed to evaluate fresh (workability) and mechanical properties (density, permeability and split tensile strength, compressive and flexural strength) of concrete with 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 of millet husk ash (MHA) and 10, 20, 30 and 40 of wheat straw ash (WSA) to replace Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and sand respectively at conditions: a) concrete with MHA; b) concrete with WSA; and c) concrete with MHA and WSA. 525 concrete specimens were prepared with 1:1:2 mix proportions with 0.55 water/cement ratio and cured at 28 days. The increase of combined MHA and WSA contents to produce concrete decreased the workability of fresh concrete and decreased density and permeability of hardened concrete. Compressive strength, split tensile and flexural strength are increased with addition up to 15 of MHA and 30 of WSA combined. Same behavior is observed to compressive strength after chloride attack. Those results were better when compared to those of conditions a) and b). Therefore, it is possible to produce eco-friendly concrete with MHA replacing OPC and WSA replacing sand, individually or combined, which contributes to less environmental impact. © 2021 date: 2021 publisher: Elsevier Editora Ltda official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85110000743&doi=10.1016%2fj.jmrt.2021.04.095&partnerID=40&md5=620a9d0d45403a83fc31143fcb39a78e id_number: 10.1016/j.jmrt.2021.04.095 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Materials Research and Technology volume: 13 pagerange: 872-893 refereed: TRUE issn: 22387854 citation: Bheel, N. and Ali, M.O.A. and Kirgiz, M.S. and de Sousa Galdino, A.G. and Kumar, A.
